Story Behind The Song

Just some thoughts that came to me during one of my rare contemplative moments!

Song Description

It is an attempt to explain perhaps what a saved person's first impression of Heaven might be. Although in reality it will be too wonderful to put into words.

Lyrics

Streets Of Gold:

I knew little then, now I know it all.
My Earthly life forgotten,
My past destroyed at your call.
Nothing left that?s rotten.

I feel You now like never before.
No distractions left,
You?re changing me from the core.
Just like the rest.

C:
And the light is shining through,
The same light that made me new.
The light that changed me from the old,
As I walk along the streets of gold.
As I walk along the streets of gold.

At last there?s no chance, no chance I?ll fall,
No more worries or fear,
So many faces, but I know them all,
And faces that I wished were here.

The river it flows through the city,
The old me ebbed away,
It?s banks lined with trees so pretty,
As I sit with You and pray.

C:
And the light is shining through,
The same light that made me new.
The light that changed me from the old,
As I walk along the streets of gold.
As I walk along the streets of gold.




Bridge :

I?m so glad that I found You,
So glad I made You mine,
So glad that You?re with me too,
Eternity is a very long time.

In Your house there are many mansions.
Now I?ve got a key,
No more prejudice or sanctions.
In the place You prepared for me.

So now as I walk, as I walk these streets.
With You for a heart,
Our bond is now complete.
Nothing can tear us apart.

C:
And the light is shining through,
The same light that made me new.
The light that changed me from the old,
As I walk along the streets of gold.
As I walk along the streets of gold.

And the light it shines on all,
In the place where no shadows fall.
I?m seeing things both new and old,
As I walk along the streets of gold.
As I walk along the streets of gold.
