ON THE EDGE OF GLORY:

 

I'm on the edge of Glory, Heavens gates are open wide

I can see the King of Kings, He's just on the other side

I see loved ones waiting there, just beyond the crystal sea

a longing floods my soul, cause Heaven's where I want to be

 

A light shines so brightly, Cant you see what I can see

Heavens angels are descending, they are coming just for me

and though my time is nearing ,please don't shed a tear for me

Heaven's bells are clearly ringing, and Heaven is where I want to be

 

Trusting Jesus has been worth it, He loves though I fall

I have never been forsaken, He has answered every call

when my final hour has come, I'll awake in Glory Land

Death will have to set me free, When I hold God's nail scarred hands
