The greatest thing in heaven that I will want to see

Is not the streets all paved with gold or Peter with his keys

The sight that will thrill me most is not the angel's choir

Nor relatives who've gone before- proven in God's fire

The greatest thing that i will see of what is left of Earth

Is not the treasure I've stored up this is of greater worth!

The most wonderful and wondrous thing of all the sights most grand

Would be to see what Thomas saw- the nail scars in Christ's hands!
