When the Saints Go Marching In
"God is the highest good of the reasonable creature. The enjoyment of him is our [proper and only] happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any, or all earthly friends. These are but shadows; but the enjoyment of God is the substance. These are but scattered beams; but God is the sun. These are but streams; but God is the fountain. These are but drops, but God is the ocean."
~Jonathan Edwards
Hey! We are following the footsteps of those who've gone before and we'll all be reunited on that new and sunlit shore.
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.
And when the sun refuse to shine,
And when the sun refuse to shine,
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the sun refuse to shine.
Oh, when the trumpet sound its call,
Oh, when the trumpet sound its call,
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the trumpet sounds that call.
Oh, when the new world is revealed,
Oh, when the new world is revealed,
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the new world is revealed.
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.
