In anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ, we often find ourselves longing to be "in a better place" more than we want to be here on Earth. Our minds get caught up in the amazing wonder of Heaven, and soon we realize that we are not only ready for another world, but we are actually meant for it. I've been standing on the edge Waiting for a sign Ready for the world to stop its turning I've been looking everywhere And it seems all that I find Is evidence of Your, Your great returning
And my mind starts wondering far away To when I'll be in a better place
'Cause I am ready for a world Where my eyes will finally see Where my heart has longed to be, Jesus I am ready for a world Where I will kneel before Your throne And I will hear the words "you are finally home" I am ready for that world But for now and until then I will try and comprehend How my world will be made new I'm ready, I'm ready
I've been staring at the sky Looking past the clouds Wondering if You are just beyond them I can almost see it now How everything will change When You start coming down in a cloud of glory
And my mind starts wondering far away To where I'll be in a better place
