The Word of the Lord Declares: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself.
Imagine a place where they’ll be no more trouble. A place where pain and heartaches will cease. Imagine a place where there will be no more sorrow - That’s the way Heaven will be.
Imagine a place where there will be no more darkness. A place where the sun is gonna shine in the night. Imagine a land where there will be no more trials - That’s the way Heaven will be.
