We are nearing the shore of a land where evil and wickedness will be no more.

Truth and righteousness shall prevail; for there shall be no lies there; for all liars of whom Satan is the chief, shall be cast down to deceive and trouble us no more.

There shall be peace, for the clamor of war will cease; no arguments, debates or discouraging words shall be heard; hatred, bitterness and sadness will be no more.

Oh when through those gates I do pass; a smile will be upon my face; a song of joy will be in my heart; for all the former things I will leave behind never to look back and I will return to them no more.

For I am nearing the shore of a land where I will live in happiness and joy, forevermore.
