Had a dream about heaven and wanted to write a song describing that dream as best as I could..

Once in a dream of a place unseen
Where night becomes day and all tears fade away
When time has come and our deeds are done
There’s nothing to fear, so much love so near

And out along the emerald shores of heaven’s crystal river
The alabaster sky sends rainbow through the clouds
The gates of pearl hold smiling angels, singing harmony
And trees of life, they stand so proud, beyond the streets of gold.

2nd verse

Just like a dream of that land, unseen
The world now was gone, and we all sing one song
Our soul is set free, through those new eyes we’ll see

His never-ending light, throughout the city made of jewels
Shining on for all to see, the things of old made new
We freely drink the water there, share from the tree of life
Rewards beyond our wildest dreams for trusting Jesus Christ

Bridge: When time has come and our deeds are done, there’s nothing to fear, so much love so near
