Mullins Lyrics
"Heavenly Places"

John on the Isle of Patmos
Gazing back on the race he had run
Seemed like such a dream
He had truly seen God's only Son.
Now confined to this tiny island
Far away from those he loves.
Feeling all alone
His mind would just toward home and be in

Heavenly places, familiar faces
Walking with the Savior by the Sea of Galilee he'd be in
Heavenly places, warming embraces
Of the twelve and of the one who set him free
Heavenly places captured in his memory.

Paul in a Roman prison
Looking back to the day he first believed
Little did he know
The dusty road would hold his destiny (Hold his destiny).
Now in chains, lying in this dungeon
Writing letters to those he loves
He pause between each line
And somewhere in his mind he'd be in

Heavenly places, familiar faces
Preaching the gospel for the hungry to receive he'd be in
Heavenly places, warming embraces
Of the fellowship he had with Timothy
Heavenly places captured in his memory.

I, too was once a prisoner
To this world's doubt and fear
But in the house of the Lord
There's a decent comfort here (Decent comfort here)
And I'm in

Heavenly places, familiar faces
In the house of the Lord where's it's easy to believe that I'm in
Heavenly places, Oh, feeling warm embraces
All my brothers and my sisters loving me
Heavenly places, heavenly places
More than just a memory.
It's so much more
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la) (repeat several times with ad lib)
