Just Across the River Jordan
Just across the River Jordan,
There's a land of milk and honey
Where there shall be none
Who still weep with tears of misery.
A land with streets of gold
Laid by the Master Builder,
And where none will ever again be old
Due to the shed Blood of the Redeemer.
All tears of any sad kind at all will be eternally dried,
And no sorrows will somehow visit any longer
The hearts of the truly saved, because in
Heaven or Earth no evil shall ever again appear.
Mortal eyes have never seen,
Nor mortal ears ever heard,
Any of the things of wonder
That will be known eternally in times without end.
Through the Eastern Gate
We will all go, on the straight and narrow path,
On a quite-unknown future calendar date,
Into the infinitely precious New Jerusalem that forever shines with a most Divine Light.
We will see the Patriarchs of humanity and of Israel from long ago,
And untold numbers of other people from all over the world who also looked forward
For many past centuries, whether from recent times or from quite long ago,
To being forevermore in Paradise with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The lion and the lamb shall lie down together,
And war shall never again be learned,
For all the former evil things in any way reminiscent of death
And violence shall forever be unremembered as needed.
No darkness shall reign evermore,
For night will never again be seen
Because of the Light of God forever
Shining on Earth and in the infinite Heavens.
