Our Permanent Home

He said, remember the words that I say
'Cause soon I'll be far away
My son, won't you always be brave
Look after your mother, behave
Know that this world
Isn't your home
Look forward to heaven
Where we'll never grow old

Where sickness is gone
And the lonely belong
And the weak will be strong
No more doing us wrong
My son
Don't lose faith
So you can go
To our permanent home

She said, don't worry about what they say
'Cause there's going to be a day
When words will never cause pain
Follow Jesus, it'll all be okay
Eternity is coming
Knocking at our door
So why worry how we feel now?
When this life is so short

And sickness is gone
And the lonely belong
And the weak will be strong
No more doing us wrong
My son
Don't lose faith
So you can go
To our permanent home

Captives are free
The blind can see
Together we'll be for eternity
Pain is no more
The crippled restored
If there's one thing you learn
Know that
Death is a cure

And sickness is gone
And the lonely belong
And the weak will be strong
No more doing us wrong
My son
Don't lose faith
So you can go

The leper is healed
Our Savior revealed
No more waiting around
Just forever in awe
My son
Don't lose faith
So you can stay
Whit Jesus face to face

When we walk through heaven's gates
