A Home in Glory

A HOME IN GLORY

Click here to listen to the song

I've got a home
A home in glory
That JESUS bought for me.

I've got a home
A home in glory
That JESUS bought for me.

In this world I have sickness and sorrow
but after tomorrow
He sets me free!

I've got a home
A home in glory
that JESUS bought for me
where I'll live eternally

I've got a home
A home in Glory
Where I'll live forevermore

I've got a home
A home in glory
Where I'll live forevermore

In this world I may be lonely
for a few decades only
but soon I'll soar

I've got a home
a home in glory
where I'll live forevermore
with the God whom I adore

I've got a home
A home in glory
where my joy will never end
I've got a home
A home in glory
where my joy will never end

In this world I have no one to love me
or who thinks much of me
but wait till then!

I've got a home
A home in glory
where my joy will never end
with my eternal Friend

I've got a home
a home in glory
that JESUS bought for me
I've got a home
A home in glory
that JESUS bought for me

In this world I have sickness and sorrow
but after tomorrow
He sets me free

I got a home
A home in glory
that JESUS bought for me
where I'll live eternally!

You can't tell by my singing it, but this song has meant a lot to me these last few weeks since I wrote it. I woke up singing it one morning and it hasn't left my heart or head yet.

I just heard about another friend getting married in a few days. Normally I'd be jealous that yet another couple has found what I've been begging GOD for these many years. And I'm still alone. But I can't bring myself to be jealous (at least not for long). Because, as the song says, no matter how lonely I am in this life, it won't last long. Nothing in terms of eternity. But JESUS tells me that as a Believer in Him, He has gone to prepare a place for me and for other Believers like me and will return to take us Home with Him. (John 14:2-3) So no matter how rough this life gets, I have a Home in Glory nothing in this life can take away or diminish.

Life is fleeting. And though the pain of not having what others have seems as if it will last forever, it won't. But my home in glory will. There is no tent in this world that can have more appeal than that.

And the same applies to you. No matter what your body does to you or doesn't do. No matter what others say or do or don't say or don't do. If you believe Christ for the eternal life He has died and risen to give you, if you trust Him for that Home He has prepared for you, you have a Home in Glory waiting for you when all the things you think you want in this life are dust and memories.

I can't have the lives that others have. But I can have what JESUS has given me, now and for eternity. And that is plenty.
