Heaven Can't Be Far Away

<p>This is the old ship of Zion<br/>And we&#x27;re sailing for that city<br/>I see the lights so faintly shining<br/>As we&#x27;re moving toward the shore<br/>Sometimes I think I hear singing<br/>As saints are dreaming of that day<br/>It brings a thrill to my spirit<br/>For heaven can&#x27;t be far away<br/><br/>We can&#x27;t be far from that city<br/>For I can see walls of jasper<br/>The gates of pearl are swinging open<br/>Leading to the streets of gold<br/>Saints of every land are shouting<br/>And heaven&#x27;s choir has started singing<br/>This old body is feeling sweet release<br/>Heaven can&#x27;t be far away<br/><br/>Oh, what a sight, what a reunion<br/>As precious loved ones arе reunited<br/>I see my mother, thеre&#x27;s my father<br/>They&#x27;re rejoicing around the throne<br/>Now all the angels, they&#x27;re crying holy<br/>As Gabriel&#x27;s horn is about to play<br/>Oh, my steps, they&#x27;re getting lighter<br/>For heaven can&#x27;t be far away<br/>We can&#x27;t be far from that city<br/>For I can see walls of jasper<br/>The gates of pearl are swinging open<br/>Leading to the streets of gold<br/>Saints of every land are shouting<br/>And heaven&#x27;s choir has started singing<br/>This old body is feeling sweet release<br/>Heaven can&#x27;t be far away<br/><br/>Saints of every land are shouting<br/>And heaven&#x27;s choir has started singing<br/>This old body is feeling sweet release<br/>Heaven can&#x27;t be far away, far away
