This
is my Heaven
Oh
the joy of life!
No
sadness, grief or strife.
Happiness,
joy, and love.
The
trickle of water, the coo of a dove
This
is Heaven to me.
Sunrise
over mountains,
Sunset
over seas!
Oh,
the love You've shown to me!
I've
never known anything better.
Recipient
of Your love letters.
This
is Heaven to me.
Your
own language in all nature,
Love,
when all sin and hate were
Nailed
to the tree for me and all.
A
place where peace has no walls.
That
is Heaven to me.
You
and Love are all the same.
You
heal the blind you heal the lame.
You
make us new, and white as snow.
I'll
be with you wherever we'll go.
And
that will be Heaven to me.
And
when my faith will turn to sight.
My
heart will soar like an eagle in flight.
Rivers
of gold reflect Your heavenly light.
With
You, there is no night.
This
is in Heaven for me.
Six
days for Earth to be built
2014
years for a promise fulfilled.
And
when I'm in the sky in Jesus' arms,
I'll
take no pleasure in previous charms.
Because
He is always my Heaven to me.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah,
God has blessed me
I
no longer bear my shame
He
has given me His family
he
has given me a name.
Hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah!
Hallelujah,
God has loved me
I
am forever in his hands
He
is always with me
No
matter where I stand.
Hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah!
Hallelujah,
God protects me
With
his mighty upheld arm
He
shields away all evil
And
heals me from all harm.
Hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah!
Hallelujah,
God disciplines me
For
he cares for me so
He's
my daddy and He'll train me
In
the way that I should go.
Hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah!
Hallelujah,
He made the world for me
All
the flowers, grass, and trees.
And
as an oak comes from an acorn,
So
shall He build from me.
Hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah!
Hallelujah,
I will praise Him
as
my Maker, Redeemer, Dad.
I
will give praise to the one who made it all.
He
has made my spirit glad.
Hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah!
Silas, 12 years
Ode to the Lord
Lord, you are majestic,
Lord, you are holy.
You knew me before you
created the world.
I want to love you with all
of my heart, and to honor you fully,
For you loved me before the
stars ever twirled.
Your desire is to always be
with me
With nothing to separate us.
That is why Your people must
be holy,
For that is the reason you
made us.
God you are gracious and
beautiful
And the earth brims full of
Your glory,
And through Jesus,
compassionate and merciful,
You have woven all of this
into my story.
There is no language where
Your creation is not understood.
What do they say to the ends
of the world?
Oh, the sky, the sun, the
grass, the wood;
There is no place where Your
praise isn't unfurled.
In You, I will live forever
To you will I give my
praise.
There is no way I could ever
stop. Never
Will I cease to give thanks
to You through the endless days.
