The Way It's Going To Be
Copyright 2001

1.        She paints a picture with her words
           In a letter from across the sea
           He reads it as what he wished he’d heard
           And tells her how it’s going to be

           He says, “With you and I, it’ll be Heaven!
           Just wait until you see!”
           She says, “I’m sorry, you’re mistaken;
           That’s not the way it’s supposed to be.”

2.        An old man sits all alone
           A huddled mass yearning to breathe free
           He looks across the bay at his new home
           Imagining the way it’s going to be

           He finds out very quickly what’s coming to him
           Seems his dreams are a memory
           And a hard life is all they can promise him
           Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

3.        Lost souls that thirst for salvation
           And hearts that long for relief
           Hear a story of a great place called Heaven
           And wonder how it’s going to be

           Did you know you’ll never get there on your own strength?
           But by a man who died on a tree
           To unite you and Him He went every length
           Because that’s the way it’s supposed to be!

           And when we’re all in the great place called Heaven
           We’ll worship Him for eternity
           And we’ll know in our hearts then for certain
           That this is what we were created to be!
