2 Corinthians 5:1-2 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
[2] For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
Believers have a house eternal in the heavens.
This body of ours will be sown a natural body, but it will be raised a spiritual body, a perfect body.
Until then, I groan in my worn out, diseased body.
I can’t wait to have a new one.
It Won’t Be Very Long
_______________________
It won't be very long till this short life shall end. — It won't be very long till Jesus shall descend; — And then the dead in Christ from beds of clay shall rise — To meet the Lord and King up yonder in the skies.
CHORUS:
It won't be very long, it won't be very long — Till Jesus shall appear, the day is drawing near. — Will you be ready then to meet the ransomed throng? — Get ready for that day, it won't be very long.
It won't be very long till here we cease to roam. — It won't be very long till all the saints get home; — And then with smiling face we'll walk the streets of gold — and sing the Savior's praise where saints are never old.
It won't be very long till burdens we lay down. — It won't be very long till we'll receive a crown; — And then we'll shout and sing with angels round the throne, — And when we meet up there, we'll know as we are known.
It won't be very long till earth shall pass away. — It won't be very long till works of men decay. — But Jesus has prepared a happy dwelling place — For all who look above and trust His matchless grace.
