We won’t be hearing sirens meaning there’s a house on fire,
Or that someone’s little boy just got mangled by a car.
We won’t hear angry shouting in the middle of the night,
From someone who’s upset because they weren’t treated right.

We’ll shed no tears for loved ones who are straying from the fold.
We’ll never be too hot and never be too cold.
We won’t have to stand in line for our unemployment check,
Or see our friends destroy themselves in a crushing two-car wreck.

There will be no flooded basements and no more roofs that leak,
And no more neglected widows with a future rather bleak.
There’ll be no scared children with a drunken daddy in a rage,
And no dogs, or lions or elephants locked in a dirty cage.

There will be no sin or hate to disturb us there.
There will be no worry or stress and we won’t have a care.
Instead we’ll enjoy our Heavenly Father each and every day,
And spend our time with Jesus who became for us the way.

Instead we’ll enjoy our Heavenly Father each and every day,
It was his blood that bought us an abiding place there,
And for our clothing it’s his righteousness we will wear.
The things missing in Heaven won’t include you or me,
If we take Jesus at his promise and accept his salvation free.
