The riches that I've gained, are not seen by this world.
I've traded everything for one precious pearl.
My eyes are on the prize, nothing else can I see.
I will sing my praises, with a voice of victory.

I will study war no more, but I'll fight the good fight.
I gave up my cloak of darkness for an armor of light.
Gather all the worldly treasures that this world will ever see;
Far greater is He that lives inside of me.

The Lord is my shepherd and I am not afraid
of that little spot of ground that they choose for my grave.
I don't really need a casket. Don't you worry about a stone.
By the time the dust has settled, Lord I'll be coming home.

The grapes on the vine cry, "It's almost harvest time !"
The wheat fields pray, "Thy Kingdom Come !"
My heart shall not be troubled, I won't have a worried mind.
I'm living in the New Jerusalem.

Uriah, I think our companions here should know you are referring to a city that will come down from heaven found in The Revelation of St.John the Devine ch:3 v:12 of The Holy Bible. And it is from there Jesus will rule the new world in rightouness. The greatest of christian hopes is to live in that city! God willing I'll see you there bro.:-)

Yes (((Steven))) That is where it is mentioned. It can be taken many ways. I will simply say that... I have learned the truth of what Jesus said, "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation." So, Like I said...The riches I have are not seen by this world. Where I will be, I am. And in truth...Have always been.
