Heaven Can't Be Far Away
by Mark Trammell Trio

Album: Once Upon a Cross

This is the old ship of Zion
And we're sailing for that city
I see the lights so faintly shining
As we're moving toward the shore
Sometimes I think I hear singing
As saints are dreaming of that day
It brings a thrill to my spirit
For heaven can't be far away

We can't be far from that city
For I can see walls of jasper
The gates of pearl are swinging open
Leading to the streets of gold
Saints of every land are shouting
And heaven's choir has started singing
This old body is feeling sweet release
Heaven can't be far away

Oh, what a sight, what a reunion
As precious loved ones are reunited
I see my mother, there's my father
Rejoicing 'round the throne
All the angels are crying holy
As Gabriel's horn is about to play
Oh, my steps, they're getting lighter
For heaven can't be far away

We can't be far from that city
For I can see walls of jasper
The gates of pearl are swinging open
Leading to the streets of gold
Saints of every land are shouting
And heaven's choir has started singing
This old body is feeling sweet release
Heaven can't be far away

Saints of every land are shouting
And heaven's choir has started singing
This old body is feeling sweet release
Heaven can't be far away, far away
Far away
