The Land of the Living
Vs 1
Some call this the land of the living, but a life full of years is still brief.
Our loved ones leave us so lonely. Death’s parting brings pain, tears, and grief
But one day we’ll leave this world behind, for the place where there’s no need for prayer
The land of the living is Heaven – no tears will be shed over there
Chorus
When we behold our Lord and King, we’ll say, “Oh death where is your sting?”
Then we’ll ascend those golden stairs,” in that city built foursquare
In the land of the living called heaven, for death cannot enter there
Vs 2
We struggle and fight against evil. This world is fallen in sin
The devil torments the believer though he knows that he cannot win
King Jesus will come to take us home. He’ll bring us white robes to wear
In the land of the living called heaven, no place on this earth can compare
Vs 3
While walking on streets that are golden, we'll meet those who went on before
The saints of the ages all singing, that Christ is the way, He's the door
Bright angels will come to hear our song --- as line upon line we declare:
The land of the living is heaven – the home that our Lord has prepared
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
That city so fair, there on high
Its citizens never die
Repeat Chorus
