Better Place
BeBe Winans/CeCe Winans Lyrics

We have days very long
We experience days that can feel like they never end

We have days very hard
We face challenges that can feel insurmountable

We're given up our lives for the sake of the call
We have committed our lives to a higher purpose

And in those times when we thought
During moments of doubt or uncertainty

We were not gonna make it
When it seemed like we wouldn't be able to continue

We would remind ourselves that our reward is in heaven
We find solace in the promise of a heavenly reward

We're goin' to a place that is truly blessed
There is a place that awaits us where we will experience true joy

A place where we'll find rest yeah
A place for us to find peace and solace

Prepared for me and you
It's a place prepared for everyone, including us

I'm getting my house in order How about you?
I'm preparing myself for what is to come, are you doing the same?

A place that is full of peace
A place where there is no strife or turmoil

Love it will be over flowing
A place where love will never be in short supply

We'll be there for eternity
We will be there forever

I want you there yeah I want you there with me
I want to share this experience with you

Keep your head up he's coming some day to
Don't lose hope, because one day

Carry us away to a better place
We will be transported to a place that is far better

We all have times when we're weak and we
Everyone experiences moments of weakness

Have times when we're strong
But we also have moments of strength

We don't always do what's right cause
We don't always choose to do what is moral or ethical

Sometimes it's easier to do wrong
It can be less difficult to make the wrong choice

Well everybody makes mistakes yeah at
Everyone is prone to making mistakes

Some point in their lives
At some time or another

You know that nobody's perfect
We are all flawed, and that's okay

We're all just reaching for the prize
We are all striving to achieve a goal

White pearly gates that's where the streets are made with gold
A description of the beauty of the afterlife

His glory illuminates the heavens
The radiance of God's light fills the surroundings

Walls of jasper
A description of the beauty of the afterlife

We'll live there ever after
We will have eternal life in this place

We'll seek his face
We will be in the presence of God and seek to know him better

We'll bow down and cry holy holy holy holy
We will worship God in a most reverent and respectful manner

Carry us away to a better place
We will be transported to a place that is far better

Carry us away to a better place
We will be transported to a place that is far better

Carry us away to a better place
We will be transported to a place that is far better

Carry us away to a better place
We will be transported to a place that is far better
