Heaven on Earth

[Timothy Long]

Picture this:

As the hart pants
And the salmon leap
The river churns
Into pools wide and deep

Deep down it plunges
Clean, clear and free
Yet the waterfall's size
Is no match for the tree

Cedar, sugar pine, redwood and ash
All reach to the heavens and back in a flash

I'm not there right now
But some day I'll return
I'll be back in the forest
Where forever I'll yearn

[Timothy Long]

I am back in the forest
Christ is the way
Follow His guidance
Day after day

You're crossing the river
It's not just a dream
You're response to the rock
Can put you right in the stream

You're almost across
To that beautiful shore
Where trees are planted firm
And confusion's no more

Meadow, pasture
To the grass He will lead
Follow His guidance
You will not be in need
