My first day in heaven what do I see

It’s the voice of Jesus calling to me

He says welcome home, come sit by my side

Let me show the fruit that has come from your life

 

He opens my eyes to a vision of souls

Lining the streets made of purest gold

All ages and races are standing there free

And Jesus says all are because of me

 

This one from the mission field where you gave

That one from a Sunday School lesson one day

A third from the time I shared Christ on a bus

A fourth from the time that I just had to trust.

 

They came one by one as they slowly passed by

Saying thank you to me with a wonderful smile

And I realized each word I’d spoken down here

Had a lasting effect on someone else’s ear.

 

I wished I could cry out to those still alive

To wake up and finally realize

That eternity was in the words that they spoke

Now is the time to to talk about hope

 

Don’t worry what anyone else might say

Just point everyone to Jesus TODAY

And then when your first day in heaven arrives

You too will see fruit that has come from your lives.
