The Reality of Heaven Lyrics

Words can't describe this

My heart can't contain this

How the one with no shame

Could make me blameless

How the one with no blemish

Could make me stainless

How the one who is Holy

Could take my pain and

Bear my burden when He hung

On the wooden tree

Jesus, Son of God tortured for me

My guilt left behind

Because the day Love deceased

Was the day Love awakened

Inside of me

I've got this joy unspeakable

That won't go away

I remember that song and

What they used to say

Just enough strength to get

Through the day

Because I'm counting on God

And the way He has made

Well, I've never felt a greater joy

I've never experienced a greater love

All of heaven making noise

Singing songs from above

Choirs of angels echo His praise

Eternity's song until End of Age

The preachers proclaim

And the poets write

The prophets exalt through

New vision's sight

As we catch a glimpse of Christ

A new reality from death to life

A new reality from lost to found

All the earth in unified sound

And when the praises go up

The blessings come down

Well what better blessing

Than Himself

The One who holds the keys to hell

A story we'll not just tell through

Bibles on a shelf

But He'll write it on these hearts

And bodies composed of cells

We'll be a "third testamental" church

As we proclaim of Bethlehem's Birth

Come to die but there's no hearse

There's no stone the grave's alone

I'll shout it out from microphone

Depression ceases, anxiety overthrown

Because the Crucified Lamb

Now sits on heaven's throne

Heaven is for real

But I don't need a movie to tell me

Heaven is for real

And yet while it's a mystery

Heaven is for real

And I sense His Presence inside of me

Jesus is heaven and heaven is He

And we act in accordance whenever we

Love the unloveable

Touch the untouchable

Forgive the unforgivable

And pardon the unpardonable

Spirit's life in broken clay pots unleashed

No longer I who live but Christ in me

And we show the world through our good deeds

That heaven resides in our grace filled communities

God awaken me to this new reality

As grace restores that which experienced fatality

As Spirit's breath comes to life inside of these

Lungs and tongues with praises sung

As we shout the song of the redeemed

Heaven is for real

And it's here and now

As all God's people take a bow

And lift up Resurrected Son

A new reality here on earth begun

Shining fierce as morning sun

Reality transformed because

Heaven's come
