I've never seen the streets of Rome.
I've never seen the world''s seven wonders,
But I'll see the greatest wonder that day when I go home.

I'm gonna see Jesus, I'm gonna see Jesus.
I'll see him smile open His arms and walk my way
I'm gonna look into His eyes someday
I may not see that much of riches
I may not see that much of fame
I may not see that much of wordly treasures
And if I never do, Ii really haven't missed a thing, cause
