Last night I dreamed I walked through a city
Where the streets were paved with purest gold
I must have walked for a thousand years
But I never grew weary or old
I saw some sights that were dear to behold
I saw the angel band rejoice for me
Then I woke and realized that it must have been heaven
And that’s just where I want to be
I want to go to heaven when I leave this world
I want to kneel at my savior’s feet
I want to live eternal and free from all sorrow
Where all my loved ones i’ll meet
I want to sing God’s praises for ever
In a land where we’ll never die
That’s why i’m singing and shouting and serving my Lord
Who i’ll meet by and by
Now while I walk on this earth down below
I’m gonna tell everyone I meet
How Jesus hung and died upon the cross
And paid the ultimate price for me

Then he went up to heaven with his father
To prepare a place for us all
So that’s why i’m singing and shouting and serving
I can’t hardly wait to hear his call
I want to sing God’s praises for ever
In a land where we’ll never die
And that’s why i’m singing- and shouting -and serving- my sweet Lord
That’s why i’m singing and shouting and serving my Lord
Who i’ll meet by and by
