Heaven Is A Better Place - Steven Brown
Duration: 00:01:56
Description:
She was one of the most Godly women I have ever known and she had a recurring dream for years before she passed on. The dream was about her mansion in heaven and each time she had that dream, it was built further along. About 2 weeks before she passed on, she had that dream for the last time and told one of my aunts about how her mansion was finished and she was ready to go home.
But the story doesn't end there. Around the same time, My Mom (Jan Cook) woke up in the middle of the night singing the words and melody for what is now the Chorus of this song.
We got together and finished the song the night before my Great Grandmother's funeral service. We dedicated it and sang it for her that day and now I like to share it, and the story behind it to the world.
Here are the lyrics:

Livin in this world can sometimes get me down
but then I think of Jesus and the love I've found.
He's given me salvation, and He is my best friend.
I'm going home to see Him in that land that has no end.
Heaven is a better place, Heaven is a better place.
No more sin, trouble or strife, Heaven is a better place.
Heaven is a better place, Heaven is a better place.
I've been waiting for all of my life, Heaven is a better place.
Through those pearly gates, we'll walk hand-in-hand,
singing and praising His name, with all the angel band.
Friends and loved-ones greet us with a smiling face.
We'll praise the Lord forever, for His amazing grace.
Heaven is a better place, Heaven is a better place.
No more sin, trouble or strife, Heaven is a better place.
Heaven is a better place, Heaven is a better place.
I've been waiting for all of my life, Heaven is a better place.
I've been waiting for all of my life, Heaven is a better pla---ce.
