Heaven Is Our Home
Kathryn Scott Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more sin and no more shame
We are going where the streets are made of gold
No more tears for they'll be wiped away
We are going where the streets are made of gold

And if we just could see
One glimpse of what will be
We'd run to win this race

Living our lives by faith

Because heaven is our home where we'll reign forever
Shining like the sun with our king forever
Every sorrow gone we'll rejoice forever
Heaven is our home heaven is our home

No more death for it's been overcome
We are going where the streets are made of gold

Where o grave is your victory song
We are going where the streets are made of gold

The lyrics of Kathryn Scott's song "Heaven Is Our Home" speak of the hope and promise of eternal salvation. The first verse talks about how there is no more sin, shame, or tears in heaven - a place where the streets are made of gold. The second verse speaks of how, if we could see just a glimpse of what heaven is like, we would live our lives with more faith and purpose. The chorus then affirms that heaven is our true home, where we will reign with Christ forever, free from every sorrow and pain. Finally, the last verse speaks of how even death has been overcome in the promise of eternal life.

This song serves as a reminder to Christians that our hope is not in this temporary, earthly life but in the promise of eternal life with Christ in heaven. It also highlights the power of faith in shaping our lives in light of this hope. In essence, the song is a celebration of the victory that Christ has won through his death and resurrection, and the assurance that we too will share in this victory when we reach our eternal home.
