Psalm 117 and My Vision of Heaven

Psalm 117

Praise the Lord all you nations
extol him all you peoples
For great is his love for us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord.

My Vision of Heaven

As I lay in the meadows,
Looking towards the sun.
I close my eyes and think on God’s goodness
And all that He has done.

The blood that runs warm in my veins
He’s made a way out of no way .
His victory and power, I have gained
He blessed me to see this day.

He has given me a clear mind
To know right from wrong
When I’m deep down in my valley.
In my mouth, He puts a new song.

Then I imagine myself
Walking on streets of gold;
Seeing Jesus face to face
As the Book of Life unfolds.

Walking up to His throne
As He calls my name;
Bowing at His feet
To worship His holy name

I see the pearly gates
And the heavenly crown too.
He says “Well done” to me
And I tell Him thank you

He gives me a set of wings
And shows me my mansion
I opened the doors to it
And behold a great attraction.

This mansion was not built by hands
But by God’s glory.
This vision that I had
Is truly not a story.

This place is called Heaven, God’s kingdom.
