lyrics
I know that my Redeemer lives,
I have a home in glory,
What comfort this sweet sentence gives,
I have a home in glory,
O glory, O glory,
There's room enough in Paradise,
To have a home in glory.
Come on my partners in distress,
We have a home in glory,
My comrades through the wilderness,
We have a home in glory,
O glory, O glory,
There's room enough in Paradise,
To have a home in glory.
Oh oh oh, this record shocked me- I was not prepared for how deeply this would seep into my heart. It’s a wave/heartbeat/dog running through shallow water/light coming through green leaves. Thank you thank you thank you Riki
