He's Already There

He’s Already There

Is heaven mine or should I struggle each and every day

To believe that I will make it

And that Jesus is the way

That maybe something’s missing

And some things must still be done

That life is now a futile race

That never can be won.

That my faith will somehow leave me

Someday short of heaven’s throne

That grace is not sufficient

to help one saint make it home

should I believe the skeptics

and the scoffers all around

in the race that I am running

will eternity be found?

The answer is seen higher

Where I cast my every care

As I look into the glory

I see He’s already there

The first fruit of believers

The lion has prevailed

I clearly see the blessing

For the lamb tore down the veil.

I boldly now can enter

For His blood has made the way

For the entrance to the city

Where all sin’s been washed away

Where the streets are named redemption

Where the Son will be the light

In the place of no more sorrow

In the land of no more night.

So if you get discouraged

And you feel like giving in

To the world that fights against you

Or the heavy weight of sin

Lay it all upon the altar

And stand boldly to declare

My faith is firm

For I have seen

That He’s already there.
