I long for a land full of evergreens
Trees with branches begging a swing
Twirling and twirling with Jesus, My King
Pure, lovely, and admirable things.
In a world that’s getting darker by day
Drawing our eyes in sinister ways
A choice by men must now be made
To guard our hearts in child-like ways.
Remember as kids the imaginary scenes
Where nothing’s impossible, or so it seemed
I’ve found the secret to a beautiful world
A heavenly place for this little girl.
It’s lush and full of flowering fields
I close my eyes and sit with Him
Blocking the world from my eyes gaze
Christ lets me see His loveliest ways.
I’m done with sin that wrecks my heart
Makes me mad, divides, and parts
Pulling my heart in ravaging ways
Christ is what, and who, I crave.
I love the safety of His embrace
And in His arms are no evil tastes
For all is sweet and pure to see
He’ll fill your heart with beautiful things.
I long for streams that ripple well
An image of the Christ that softly tells
This heart of mine that I belong
The cross before me, the world long gone.
To each will come a fork in the road
You’ll have to decide which road to go
But let me tell you what I’ve come to know
Christ is the only road leading me home.
