How Beautiful the Heavenly Journey

How beautiful the heavenly journey
Beckoning and calling you through the blue
Raise yourself. Take a minute. Raise yourself.
Shake off your sin.  That’s all you have to do.

How wonderful is the heavenly peace
Bestowed on you in this world from above
Pitiful it is that you cannot hold
The dove of peace that lives and breathes His love

Its Spirit is so eager to greet you
Like it, you should not be locked in a cage
Its heart breaks as it calls each day to you:
“You are His child in this and every age”
