Heaven is a glorious land where the redeemed of the ages spend eternity.
It’s the place where we all long to go.
Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
The same God Who stood in absolute darkness and said, “Let there be light” will fill our home with His brilliance and glory.
The darkness that haunts this world will be banished over there, and the “prince of darkness” can no longer do his wicked works.
Some call it Heaven. I call it Home.
The Unclouded Day

Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies, — Oh, they tell me of a home far away; — Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise, — Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day.
Chorus:
Oh, the land of cloudless day, — Oh, the land of an unclouded sky, — Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise, — Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day.
Oh, they tell me of a home where my friends have gone, — Oh, they tell me of that land far away, — Where the tree of life in eternal bloom — Sheds its fragrance through the unclouded day.
Oh, they tell me of a King in His beauty there, — And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold — Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow, — In the city that is made of gold.
Oh, they tell me that He smiles on His children there, — And His smile drives their sorrows all away; — And they tell me that no tears ever come again — In that lovely land of unclouded day.
Josiah K. Alwood. 1885
