I purchased a home over there in Beaulah
It's a mansion not made by human hands
And while I toil down here in God's vineyard
I'm nearing that promised land

I made the down payment early one morning
Signed the paper so you see my names written there
I'm eager to keep up my payments
For I have so many interests over there

When I decided to buy I went to the heavenly broker
To discuss the terms as just how I must pay
First He told me I invested wisely
But for blessed assurance I must send my timber up every day

What a wonderful location is my mansion
More wonderful than a mortal eye has ever seen
Why, it's being built over there where Jesus is
And they tell me "It overlooks the old Jordan Stream."

You asked me how do I know, have I ever seen it,
No, but the recording angel who records for my very soul
That day I made the down payment, shows me the blue print
There in that book of gold

He said "Child, "you should see the interior
Why its beauty is more than serene."
He said "It's yours no one else can claim it
I'm sure you'll keep it spotless and clean."

The interior, He said, "the walls and the rooms are so spacious"
And the way that you get your light
There's an automatic switch called Jesus
He keeps every room sunny and bright

And yes it has a cooling system
Where you can read by the heat of the day
For the breeze from the clear crystal rivers
Is as pure as the lilies that bloom by the way.

The fire place, oh it's cozy and inviting
Because the hearts there are warm and inviting
As you gather around you can't help from feeling
God's love who redeemed you from sin.

From the balcony over there on the east wing
I've a clear view of my Master's Estate
Should my mansion ever need repairing
All my problems to Him I can relate

From my garden where flowers are daily transplanted
Where the Rose of Sharon doth bloom
Each day I can pick a bouquet and arrange them
To beautify My Master's Upper Room.

Now it won't be long before my life will be over
No more long hours of hard labor to pull
Soon my work on earth will be completed
The debt on my new home will be paid out in full

Soon I'll be at home with my loved ones
Soon my Savior's face I will see
Soon I'll dwell in my new home forever
Where I thank and praise God for the wise investment He made possible for me
