Ain't nothin' better than being there - lyrics Jesus is gone away to prepare for me a place. There a home He builds for me beyond the sky I'll be ready for that day when my soul shall fly away to that mansion way over on the other side Chorus The only thing better than talkin' 'bout heaven; Is when I walk those streets of gold and I wear my long white robe. I'm gonna meet my Lord up there at that meeting in the air; Ain't nothing better than being there. Heaven's gates are made of pearl, there's none like it in this world. That holy city's foundation's on precious stone And finally on that day I'll see my Savior face to face I'm gonna lift my hands and shout around the throne This world has many pains and miseries to give but I've a blessed hope waiting for me When it's all been said and done and my race has been won A crown of glory's laid up just for me
