John 14:2, 3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
A “mansion” in the “Father’s house” speaks of opulence and grandeur that nothing in this world can compare to.
Mansion Over The Hill Top
_________________________
I'm satisfied with just a cottage below, — A little silver and a little gold. — But in that city where the ransomed will shine, — I want a gold one thats silver lined.
Chorus
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And someday yonder, we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are pure as gold.
Though often tempted, tormented, and tested, — And like the prophet, my pillows a stone. — And though I find here no permanent dwelling, — I know He'll give me a mansion my own.
Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely. — I'm not discouraged I'm heaven bound. — 'm but a pilgrim in search of the city. — I want a mansion, a harp, and a crown.
