I Dreamed That Heaven Was Like This

Well, I dreamed that heaven was like this

Oh, though I've never been up there

Well, I dreamed that the gates were golden

And the city so bright and fair

Well, I dreamed that I saw my Savior

Standing there by my side

Well, Lord, I know it happened, Lord, in a dream

My Lord, Lord, in a dream now

You know, in this dream I visualize

God was standing there with a smile

Then He showed me the city built four-square

Oh, Lord, where He is one day I'll be there

In that city so bright and fair

Lord, it was only, only a dream now

Well, when I get there

All of my troubles will be over, oh yes

Mother will be waiting, oh yes

And my father I will see

Tell him that I've had ups and downs

I'll keep climbing, Lord, round by round

And all His grace, oh yes, I have found

Well, often there are misunderstandings

About the good I do

Then I go to friends for consolation

I find them complaining, too

So many nights I've tossed and in pain

I wonder what the day will bring

But I believe, yeah

Lord, said He'd wake up my dying bed

Mother's gone, oh, said she left me all alone

I believe, I believe, I believe, I, oh Lord

And I believe, oh, yeah, yes, my Lord

(My Lord)
