Easter Lamb in Heaven
Christ sits upon the throne His faithful sheep are gathered 'round This palace made of stone. A rugged cross comes into view Beyond the crystal sea A sun-filled room, an empty tomb A spectacle to see. In heaven, God reminds us The reason we are there How Jesus hung upon the cross Our burdens, He did bear. In paradise, on Easter As far as one can see Are scenes of Easter long ago And how this came to be. There is no toil or trouble The wages have been paid The walls are built with diamonds The streets are lined with jade. The pearly gates of heaven Such beauty to behold The sky is clear as crystal The walks are paved with gold. A rainbow stretches overhead Sweet cherubs fill the sky Angels sing and church bells ring They lift their voices high. There is no need of moon and stars Where everything is bright For all who dwell within this land Are bathed in Holy Light. Like brilliant prisms in the sun And beams of colored hue Somewhere beyond the universe The Lamb of God shines through. It's Easter time in heaven And everything is grand The only thing that's earthly made Are the nail scars in His hand.
