It�s Easter time in heaven
              Christ sits upon the throne
              His faithful sheep are gathered 'round
              This palace made of stone.

              A rugged cross comes into view
              Beyond the crystal sea
              A sun-filled room, an empty tomb
              A spectacle to see.

              In heaven, God reminds us
              The reason we are there
              How Jesus hung upon the cross
              Our burdens, He did bear.

              In paradise, on Easter
              As far as one can see
              Are scenes of Easter long ago
              And how this came to be.  
               
              There is no toil or trouble 
              The wages have been paid
              The walls are built with diamonds
              The streets are lined with jade.  

              The pearly gates of heaven
              Such beauty to behold
              The sky is clear as crystal
              The walks are paved with gold.

              A rainbow stretches overhead
              Sweet cherubs fill the sky
              Angels sing and church bells ring
              They lift their voices high.

              There is no need of moon and stars
              Where everything is bright
              For all who dwell within this land
              Are bathed in Holy Light.

              Like brilliant prisms in the sun
              And beams of colored hue
              Somewhere beyond the universe
              The Lamb of God shines through.

              It's Easter time in heaven
              And everything is grand
              The only thing that's earthly made
              Are the nail scars in His hand.
