Do animals go to heaven, I am sure we all want to know?
I really would have a hard time, to think this were not so.
Now animals played an important part as a sacrifice for sin,
Paying the price for the sin of mankind time and time again.

Even though the animals could not take away our sin,
They paid the price and suffered, because we lacked discipline.
So now I think it fitting to give to them their due,
Because they’ve sure done plenty for the likes of me and you.

We certainly can’t take lightly, all for us, that they have done,
There is someone who took this not lightly, Jesus the Holy One.
For He came with the greater love, not with the blood of beasts,
He came Himself, as the Lamb of God, to be the sacrificial feast.

No longer having to pay the price, for all of mankind’s sin,
For He took it all upon Himself, no longer being left to them.
For God so loved the world, His begotten Son He gave,
Not just for mankind, but through Him, the world might save.

We’re to open our mouth for the speechless, for all appointed to die,
Animals can’t plead their own cause, so that just leaves you and I.
If we should look at the days of Noah, and read that history,
More animals were spared than people, just look and this we’ll see.

By faith Noah built an ark, for saving his own house-hold,
By which he condemned the world, in Hebrews we are told.
But now we have one greater, who came by water and by blood,
Not by water only and now He sits as king of the Flood.

For God did not send His Son to bring condemnation,
But sent Him to bless the world, and bring to it salvation.
God gave the sign of the rainbow, unto every creature on earth,
A covenant to Gods creation, showing how much He values their worth.

Never again shall the waters, become a flood to destroy all flesh,
For God will pour out His Spirit, and the waters He will refresh.
I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, for blessings to abound.

Now the waters of condemnation, begin slowly to dissipate,
If the ministry of condemnation had glory, the Spirit’s is first-rate.
For the law being on tablets of stone, bring not life to any thing,
But our Lord is a Life giving Spirit, and life to the world He’ll bring.
