The Beautiful Place

Since I was born I heard about this place

Where there is always sunshine and everyday is a Sunday

There will be no more rain no more skies that are gray

Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day

All my life I've heard about this beautiful place

It's somewhere beyond the galaxy and outer space

Where the streets are gold as glass and sheer with transparency

Where we shout and sing His praise throughout eternity

As I grew old, I wondered bout this place

Will I ever get there; how much longer will I have to wait?

Then I felt a sensation from my head down to my face

On a Tuesday afternoon I felt my body change

I've been raptured!

All my life I dreamed about this beautiful place

And I can't believe my eyes I really see His face

Reunited with my loved ones walking hand in hand

And the Holy River intertwines with emerald sand

"Oh, my God, the flowers sing!"

As pure white horses kneel down

For the King has made His entrance at the trumpets sound

As we sing His throne changes from blue to aqua-marine

And to shades of indigo unlike you've ever seen

No more death, no more pain

Joy, everlasting Zion sings Holy, Holy, Holy

Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

We have over come

We have over come

Maki-na ka-ata (we have defeated our enemy)

Cantemos, bailemos (let us sing, let us dance)

Harambee (let us come together)
