Lyrics:
I've heard people talk about heaven
and describe its beauty so rare
So one day I purchased a title
to a mansion in that land so fair
It was given to me without money
but it cost my dear Savior His life
He died on the cross just to save me
For me he paid a great price

Now, I hold a clear title to mansion
that Jesus has gone to prepare
Fire cannot touch it
Floods cannot harm it
And it never will need a repair
The termites can't mar its foundation
for upon the Rock of Ages it stands
I feel that it's almost completed
and ready for me to move in

My deed was both signed and recorded
the day Jesus saved me from sin
My name was engraved in gold letters
in the Lamb's Book of Life safe within
I'm an heir to a mansion in glory
when from this vain world here I roam
I'm waiting for Jesus to call me
I'll lay down my cross and go home

Now, I hold a clear title to mansion
that Jesus has gone to prepare
Fire cannot touch it
Floods cannot harm it
And it never will need a repair
The termites can't mar its foundation
for upon the Rock of Ages it stands
I feel that it's almost completed
and ready for me to move in

Thank God it's almost completed
and ready for me to move in.
