Heaven’s Best


We hear so many people talk
Of a place with streets of gold
About a place where someday
You'll never more grow old
They talk about the gates of pearl
And all they're going to see
But I prefer to talk about
The Christ of Calvary

I know this beautiful city
Will be quite a sight to see
For there will be the tree of life
And also the Crystal Sea
For me I think the beauty
Although it is so rare
To the beauty of my Jesus
In no way will compare

For He's the one that I love
The one I long to see
The one who gave His life
Upon Mount Calvary
The one who loved us so much
He gave His all and died
He'll be the first I want to see
When I walk inside

I'll bow down at His precious feet
Thank Him for all He's done
I'll praise Him through Eternity
Jesus, God's precious Son
Tell Him how much I love Him
How glad I am to see
This Jesus they call Christ
The one who set me free
