~I Saw The Third Heaven~

'Tis beauty beyond measure,
like the glittering of the brightest stars...
Yet this was so much more,
with hope, for no more hate or wars.

There was a valley,
and sloping up a hill, I could so clearly see...
Designs and colors of jewels,
shapes that fit together, so perfectly.
Joy arose up inside me,
the tears in my eyes began to fall,
Upon the ground that I knew was Holy,
and Jesus was over all.

When I saw Jesus inside the Heaven...
His beauty unsurpassed,
As the glittering, mountain and, treasures
I looked on, past.
Just a glimpse, of Heaven and how real it 'tis, is all I need to know.

And when this life is o'er,
with my sweet, Lord, I know I'll go.
He awaits His people there,
and maybe He wants me to tell all,
So when we're gathered together in faith,
He will come to call.
Coming in a cloud in all His Glory,
as they saw Him go away.

I treasure the dream,
but wonder why me? Was it a special day?
I am just a regular lady now,
'tho I was near a child then...
When I saw the third Heaven, and thought, what could it have been?

I am not learned, or of high esteem, unless loving Jesus makes me so.
For it wasn't jewels that caught my eye,
but the way He loves us so.
