WE LONG TO DEPART
You can sing this to the tune of O Worship The King
Inspired by Philippians 1:21-24
We long to depart to be
with our Lord
He reigns from His throne in heaven above
His kingdom extends to all parts of the earth
He reigns in the hearts that have known the new birth
But while we remain in this
world below
We’ll serve Him with zeal and make known His love
We must tell the world of Salvation in Him
Mankind’s only hope of salvation from sin
This world’s not our
home, we’re just passing through
Our home is above beyond the azure blue
What bliss we will know, O what joy we will share
Together in heaven when we all get there
