A Perfect World

where sin can never go

at a place I will know
____
in heaven’s realm a home I claim
made by the Savior’s hand
a perfect place in which to dwell
amid a beautiful land

with cherubim and seraphim
angels of every kind
dwells in peace with the redeemed
with God’s own love entwined
____
the trinity all three in One
governs this home on high
has planned my life in such a way
that love could never deny
____
a wretched life bound to the earth
where sin would keep me there
but Jesus came to die for me
my sins He’d have to bear
____
has made a way for me to know
the Father’s love at last
has given me a place on high
to live beyond my past
____
a perfect world in which to come
shall never fade away
because of love is present there
eternally to stay
