Shamayim of Gold

[David Wilkerson]
How many are ready / I'm going to speak about heaven / where's an Amen here /

[Verse 1]
I'm looking forward toward the ultimate Sabbath day where the former order of things on this planet have passed away / beyond this physical realm awaits a whole new world / with a city of 12 gates made from one huge pearl / where everyone looks young / speaking one new tongue / looking glorious shining like the rays from the sun / the nations will come / waiting to see His glorious face / praising the Son / receiving the reward that awaits / it's not a flight of steps ascending for miles up in the clouds / greeted by babies with wings plucking on strings / there's not a line of people waiting to get in the gate either / and no saint Peter is not the gatekeeper // since the fall of Adam life is savage and time flies / hard to fathom but try to imagine in your mind's eye / a place where division and contention are never mentioned / a new dimension where fellowshipping is never ending // the thought of dying never enters our minds / we'll be forever in our prime / in heaven there is no time / but for now we're in this makeshift home / so creation groans / until He returns and takes us home to heaven //

[Chorus]
In a world gone frantic I stand as a messianic / can't stand it this planet isn't my home / but I long for Mount Zion and Novi Yerushalayim when I'm by Him in the shamayim of gold / the redeemed sons and daughters will drink of the Living Water from the Father and the Lamb on the throne / cause His glory is the story and we’ll all be shouting holy as we serve Him in the shamayim of gold //

[Verse 2]
In heaven / travel will be no hassle / no need of transportation / desire your location -- reach your destination / on this side the laws of physics apply / but in heaven these laws we're no longer limited by / our bodies will be glorified with heightened senses and physical feelings / still we'll be able to somehow walk through literal buildings / no need for moons cause there will be no night time / no need for no sun / God's glory will make the light shine / transparent roads made of pure gold / a rushing river of Living Water as clear as crystal flows from the throne / you and Messiah privately walking beside the quiet streams enjoying the sounds / in the background angelic choirs sing / a heavenly melody / impossible audible notes / lyrics so wonderful for now it's unlawful to quote // we will be astounded by our surroundings as we discover beautiful colors by the thousands that are all around us / delicious food Yeshua freely will give / we'll eat it for pleasure not because we need it to live / the reward is infinite we'll explore the limitless / with our Lord more intimate / never bored but interested in heaven //

[Verse 3]
At the throne in white robes is a sea of people no man can number / their praises will sound like rushing water and roaring thunder / the sounds of wings fluttering and creatures never seen / like seraphim who hide their feet and eyes while worshipping / the Lion from Zion / who brings down the New Yerushalayim / a city unlike any / fashioned by God's design / the names of the Apostles of the Lamb are etched upon / twelve different precious stones that this city will rest upon / after measuring this expansion / biblical scholars have calculated roughly the number of mansions / as five quadrillion six hundred seventy-seven trillion / six hundred thirty-five billion / a hundred million / mansions in the New Jerusalem / that's if we can assume / there's seven thousand square feet / measured in each of the rooms / this city will not be overcrowded / you measure this by mileage / the length and width of this palace is from DC to Dallas / and just as many miles up / imagine five thousand four hundred and forty empire state buildings piled up / the proportions are awesome in this place / in the face of the Sovereign where all sin is erased / as Yeshua and His bride hold hands / while we slowdance / in the eternal honeymoon suite of the Great Romance / with no chance of falling ever again / we will be His people and God will dwell forever with men in heaven //

[David Wilkerson]
I can't help believing in closing that / there's going to be a victory march in glory / and in that march coming in to that eternal city / into that new world will be these multitudes of children and all these little orphans and all the others who know that they now have a body / and they begin to shout -- what a sound that will be / what a heavenly sound -- all the voice of these children / I believe that in that march then come the martyrs / all of those who cried justice are now crying holy holy / .. don't you believe that there's going to be rejoicing as they look at this new body in one piece / can you imagine the praises of those who were burned in the fires to ashes / imaine all of the shouts and the singing of the martyrs of the ages / those who were drug-addicts / alcoholics / prostitutes / those who were ... /
