Gospel
My Crown
I dreamed I had stepped into Heaven,
And Oh! What a glorious sight!
Ten billion highlights to gaze on
With never a hint of night!
The people were radiantly happy -
Not even the word “sin” was known -
Beautiful homes on the hillside -
And one of them was my own!
Then the angels came praising my goodness -
(It was Jesus’ imputed to me!)
And they placed on my head gold and diamonds -
A beautiful crown to see!
We walked down the main street of Glory,
Singing our anthems of praise;
Till we stopped at the great throne of Jesus
And all of our hands were raised.
There is beauty we see with our natural eyes,
But His beauty was all the way through -
If any could lift Him up higher...
A thing we would all like to do.
Others had crowns of rare beauty..
Jewels so rare and discrete,
And as one we cast our beautiful crowns
So they rested at Jesus’ feet.
The crowns stood for the best we could offer -
And He looked with love in His eyes,
For no one had kept their beautiful crown -
All were given to Him as His prize!
He gathered them lovingly to Him...
He touched with grace every one!
Then He passed through the great crowd of siblings....
He had fought, He had loved,...He had won!
