IF I COULD TELEPHONE
HEAVEN
AND TALK TO
A LOVED ONE UP THERE
I'M SURE
THEY WOULD TELL
OF THE BEAUTY
THAT SURROUNDS THEM
IN THAT LAND SO FAIR
PERHAPS THEY
WOULD TALK
OF THE RIVER
THAT FLOWS THROUGH
THAT LOVELY LAND
I'M SURE THEY
WOULD BID ME
TO JOIN THEM
AND STROLL ONCE AGAIN
HAND IN HAND
EVERYTHING HERE
IS ETERNAL
EACH VIEW'S
A WONDERFUL SIGHT
THE SON HERE
IS ALWAYS SHINING
IN THIS LAND
THERE IS NO NIGHT
THERE'S SPLENDOR
IN ALL DIRECTIONS
EVERYWHERE YOUR EYES
WILL SEE
PEACE AND
CONTENTMENT FOREVER
YOU'LL NEVER
LONG ELSEWHERE TO BE
16 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
IF I COULD TELEPHONE
HEAVEN
AND TALK TO
A LOVED ONE TODAY
I DON'T WANT
TO GO BACK THERE
I BELIEVE
I WOULD HEAR THEM
SAY
FOR JESUS IS ALL
THAT I NEED HERE
EVERY NEED
HAS BEEN SUPPLIED
THE CARES OF
THIS EARTH SEEMED
AS NOTHING
WHEN HE WIPED ALL
THE TEARS
FROM MY EYES
EVERYTHING HERE
IS ETERNAL
EACH VIEW'S
A WONDERFUL SITE
THE SON HERE
IS ALWAYS SHININ'
IN THIS LAND
THERE IS NO NIGHT
THERE'S SPLENDOR
IN ALL DIRECTIONS
EVERYWHERE
YOUR EYES WILL SEE
PEACE AND
CONTENTMENT FOREVER
YOU'LL NEVER
LONG ELSEWHERE TO BE
PEACE AND
CONTENTMENT FOREVER
YOU'LL NEVER
LONG ELSEWHERE TO BE
