Heavenly Reward

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 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.
