What Will It Be Like
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He spoke of a morning and an unclouded day
With no sorrow and hardship to bare
He said that where I am you also shall stay
What will it be like to be there
He spoke of a life where we’d never grow old
He said that the streets would be paved with pure gold
What will it be like to be there
What will it be like to be there oh tell me
What will it be like to be there
Forever and ever in heaven so fair
What will it be like to be there
He spoke of a trumpet when the dead would all rise
And we wonder how long it will be
It’s written the scales will all fall from our eyes
And the face of the Master we’ll see
He spoke of forever where love never dies
And the souls of our loved ones we’ll see
Where the demons can’t harm us and are met with demise
How beautiful Heaven must be
