3. Heaven Poem by Daniel Cobb

HEAVEN:
'THE HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN'
I have to learn which way is true;
The truth is there - what will I do?
I'll pray to God and serve him too;
I know that he will get me through.
This is the place I belong,
Where all is right and nothing is wrong.
Nothing in the world can make me stray;
I'll follow him all the way.

When you have a hard choice to make
And you don't know which path to take,
The time has come - now you must choose;
You have nothing left to lose.
So don't lose what's left of your light;
Find the strength to stand up and fight.
The light and love we have in living
Lies not in keeping, but giving.

Pick your path well;
There are many roads to Hell.
Got will help you get back on track
And give you what you lack.
So make a wish and say a prayer,
And someday you'll get there.
You had better beware - the devil doesn't care;
Your soul he will not spare.

True change comes only from within;
It will set you free from the power of sin.
There's no time for procrastination
If you want to reach your final destination.
You must travel the straight and narrow road;
The burden is heavy, but God will share the load.
There's nothing for you on this path you walk;
Maybe you and God should have a little talk.


'THE HEARTBEAT OF HEAVEN'
As I stare up at the stars in the sky,
An excited look fills my eyes.
The thrill of the chase in the air,
With the wind in my hair.

Heaven is above all human comprehension; 2
It’s more beautiful than you could ever imagine.
Off in the distance, there's a wonderful place;
Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.

It's beyond description - the way the angels sing;
If only you could see the peace, hope, and joy they bring.
If you follow me, I'll teach your heart to sing;
I'll teach you how to fly with a broken wing.

In the light of truth, I face reality;
And in God’s eyes, I can see eternity.
Energy flows through me without end or start;
Holy light of heaven - with each beat of my heart.


'WHEN I COME HOME'
I thank the Lord for blessings I receive;
Through faith I know, understand, and believe.
Come a little closer to see what it might be; 2
The path to heaven is open for me.0

The angels are waiting to welcome me home,1
To that Crystal City where pain is unknown.1
There's no more tears to fill my eyes;
I'm going to Heaven, way up there in the sky.2

I wish for you the world and all that comes with it;
I hope you find true love - I hope you will get it.
Trust in the Lord and your dreams will come true; 0
One day I'll be up there with you.

Will I meet you standing around God's Throne; 0
Have you made a reservation for your true home?
When my life is gone and my time is through,0
I'm going to Heaven. Now how about you?


'WE'LL MEET IN HEAVEN'
Stars fell all around us two,
The night I realized I love you.
I know you'll always be part of me;
We'll meet in heaven - just wait and see.

I knew your heart right from the start;
I watched as your whole world fell apart.
Your dreams are dead, but you'll have more;
So I don't see what you're crying for.

I'll get through this - I know I will;
My love for you has not changed still.
I'll find you again - someway, somehow;
There are no walls left between us now.

I fell to my knees with a prayer;
I'll see you in heaven. I'll be there.
We'll put all our pain in the past,
Then be together forever at last.


'THE WAY TO HEAVEN'
You can't get to heaven on your own;
You'll never make it all alone.
Religion will not get you there;
You don't even have a prayer.

The way to Heaven is open;
God's Son died for every sin.
He bridged the gap of separation
To bring eternal salvation.

Just trust the One who died for you;
There's no more you can do.
His name is Jesus, the Lord of Heaven,
Who died for our sins to be forgiven.

We all have a story and a past,
But if you trust in God, you will find peace at last.
So put your life in the Lord's hand;
Keep going until you reach the Promised Land.


'THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HEAVEN'
Heaven's a wonderful place,
It's filled with forgiveness and grace,
The thought of it makes my heart race;
I'm gonna see my Savior's face.

There’s a place full of light,
Where there is never any night;
Truth that won’t break or bend,
A kingdom that will never end.

His light is brighter than the sun;
You can't destroy what he’s done.
For He created you and me;
My words are true - just wait and see.

God's wisdom is without an end,
More than our minds can comprehend.
Believe that Jesus Christ is King;
Then put Him first in everything.


'NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH'
The Lord is light and life and love;
He watches all things from above,
Eyes burning brighter than the sun,
Perceiving everyone.

His plans always prevail;
His faithfulness won't fail.
Just trust in Jesus, for He won't fail;
God's Word isn't a fairytale.

Only because He lives, we live;
He's the reason we have hope to give.
God will wipe the tears from our eyes;
There shall be no more death or lies.

The holy hour is drawing near
When our sovereign Savior will appear;
The saints shall stand there by His side,
A sanctified and spotless bride.


'BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL'
I hate being between, wishing all was well,
The seen and unseen - I'm stuck if you can't tell.
This is a world of light and darkness;
I can't seem to fill up the emptiness.

I know - to life - there must be more,
But I can't find what I'm looking for.
There must be more to life than this,
But ignorance is bliss.

This is a time of life and death;
It's between both truth and lies.
Before I take my final breath,
I just want to know why.

Now I am here! What can I say?
I'm lost and I don't know the way.
Lord, you feel so far away,
Yet you're here in my heart to stay.


'TRADING HEAVEN FOR EARTH'
Treasures from the wise men,
Could never compare
To the gift that was given,
The child God chose to share.

There's never been such a birth;
We'll never know His full worth.
We have heard so many stories;
None were as great as this one's glories.

Sent to suffer, our Savior died
That sinners might be sanctified.
He came to save the world He made,
For his glory will never fade.

He came to show light to the world,
Bringing life to a dying world.
He knew there was a price to pay,
But it was the only way.


'GOTTA GO THROUGH HELL'
If you journey on this quest,
Your faith will be put to the test.
If you're strong, you can survive;
You must struggle to stay alive.

It's better to believe in nothing
Than to put faith in things that fall.
It's worse to trust in temporary things
Than have no hope at all.

If you really want to live,
Then first, you have to die.
If you want to find truth,
You must look past each lie.

If you want to reach the light,
You have to go through darkness as well;
If you want to get to heaven,
You have to go through hell.


'HEAVEN IS WHERE YOU ARE'
A day without you,
Is like a day without light;
You opened my eyes,
And made my world bright.

You make me want to sing;
Your love changed everything.
I can't say what's not true;
It's just not heaven without you.

In heaven we will always be
Together, forever - just you and me.
Your love has set me free;
With you - that's where I want to be.

It's hard to believe
That I'll never have to leave.
Heaven is where you are;
It's not that far.


'TREASURE MAP'
You want to get to Heaven,
Yet you wander to and fro,
Looking for a shortcut,
Wondering where to go.

You must follow directions
And walk the way that's straight,
If you intend to make it
To Heaven's golden gate.

This book you want to read;
This truth you have to know.
It's the only map you need;
It will show you which way to go.

So now my friend, if you are lost,
Do not fall in this trap.
Pick up your dusty old Bible;
It's Heaven's only map.


'I'LL SEE YOU SOON'
Looking up to heaven;
What do I see?
Down from a cloud,
You stare right back at me.

I look up at the stars;
You glow so bright.
With a wink of an eye,
Slip out of sight.

You're way up there
With the angels above;
I don't know where,
But I'll send you my love.

Blow me a kiss,
Send me a smile.
Now my heart is at peace;
I'll be there in a while.


'A PLACE WITHOUT PAIN'
No trace of tears is on your face;
There is no pain here in this place.
For when we lose the ones we love,
They go to heaven up above.

Now I'm in a better place;
It's more wonderful than I dreamed.
I've come so far to see your face;
It's even better than it seemed.
