Heaven
Bebe & Cece Winans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now that it's over
There's no more use for guns and war
Cost me a lifetime
Just to gain this life's reward

They say streets of gold (hmm)
Can you imagine somewhere
Where life will never end?
No one ever grows old (any older)
Oh, my brother, please
Come with me

It's what I live for
A place where love will never cease
Willing to die for, yeah
Heaven is where I want to be
Yeah

There are instructions
That we must follow to a tee
In order to reach there
And there is where I've got to be

They say streets of gold (can you imagine?)
Can you imagine somewhere
Where life will never end?
No one ever grows old
Oh, my brother, please
Come with me

It's what I live for
A place where love will never cease
Willing to die for
Heaven is where I want to be
It's what I live for
A place where love will never cease
Willing to die for
Heaven is where I want to be

No more dying
There is a place
Where there'll be no more crying
And he is the light
Counting those days
When we meet in that place

(Willing to die for)
Ooh, oh, oh

(It's what I) it's what I live for
(It's what I live, what I live all the days the of my life)
Willing to die for
(Said Heaven is where, Heaven is where I wanna be someday)
It's what I live for
(Don't you wanna go?)
Yes, I wanna go, ooh
(Do you wanna go?)
I wanna go
Willing to die for
Ooh, it's what I live for
(Say Heaven, say Heaven, say Heaven)
Willing to die for
Oh, willing to lay my life down and die for
It's what I live for




I believe in Heaven
No more crying

My wife is 8 months pregnant and as she was driving today, she got involved in a terrible head collision accident. Her car was pushed 15 metres away while she was inside. She was displaced from the driving seat to the passenger seat. I thank God she survived without any injuries except swellings. After checkups, the baby is 100% okay. God is great.
