God will give heavenly crowns for faithful Christian service.

There’s a Crown up in Heaven Just for You

Chorus:
There’s a crown up in heaven just for you,
And it’s waiting beyond the azure blue.
Live for Christ—the things you say, the things you do.
Yes, there’s a crown up in heaven just for you.

1. For the Christian our Lord has in mind
A crown for faithful service divine.
For the ones who live for Jesus Christ alone,
We shall one day sit with Him on His Throne.

Chorus:

2. There are five crowns that I wish were mine--
The martyr’s, preacher’s, watcher’s, victor’s kind.
Most of all, the greatest crown I’d like to see,
And that’s a soul winner’s crown from Christ to me.

Chorus:

3. Wait steadfast for the trump when it sounds.
Are you wearing your Marriage Supper gown?
It is true that Christ will come to claim His Own,
And are you ready for heaven as your home?

Chorus:
