Lyrics

One day we?re going to cross that river
One day we?re going to see
Jesus gently waving from the shores of Galilee
?Come my children to your Savior, see what He has done, He?s prepared for you a mansion in the sun.?

And we?ll praise Him forever as we gather ?round the throne
For the victory will finally be done
And we?ll all be there with Christ
O what blessed paradise
When He takes us to our mansion o?er the sun

One day the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and the dead in Christ shall rise
We who are alive then shall be caught up in the sky
There we?ll see the Lamb of God, the perfect holy One
And He?ll take us to our mansion o?er the sun

And we?ll praise Him forever as we gather ?round the throne
For the victory will finally be done
And we?ll all be there with Christ
O what blessed paradise
When He takes us to our mansion o?er the sun
