Friends In Glory

I've got friends in Glory, they're standing 'round the throne.
Praising Christ their Savior, for they are safe at home.
Talking to the Angels, and telling them of how,
The Blood of Jesus saved them,
And broke the devil's claw.

And then they begin singing, of how Jesus took their sin.
He filled their hearts with gladness, and gave them peace within.
They'll sing of God's great mercy, Extended to all men,
If they will just accept it, He'll dwell in them within.

The Angels all are silent, and listen in such awe,
For they don't want to miss a word, of things in Arkansas,
And as my friends see Jesus, they bow before His throne.
And He gives to them each a name tag,
That's engraved on a small white stone.
