"There" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

There is a place where the sun's always glowing
(Take me there, won't you take me there)
Meadows grow green near the streams gently flowing
(Take me there, won't you take me there)
A city of riches beyond comprehension
(Take me there, won't you take me there)
Streets are of gold, gates of pearl, brilliant mansions
(Take me there, won't you take me there.)

Take me and show me this rare place you speak of
Take me there, won't you take me there
To this land of plenty where there is complete love
Take me there, won't you take me there.

At the foot of the throne the kingdom rejoices
(Take me there, won't you take me there)
The angels are singing His praise with their voices
(Hallelujah, hallelujah take me there)
Peace, joy and love linger on through the ages
(Take me there, won't you take me there)
Lambs lay with lions and lions with babies
(Take me there, won't you take me there.)

Take me and show me this rare place you speak of
Take me there, won't you take me there
To this land of plenty where there is complete love
Take me there, I can't take you there.

And there is a church where they teach all about it
(Take me there) won't you take me there
There is a book we must not be without it
(Take me there) I will read with you there
And there is an altar where sins are forgiven
(Take me there) yes I'll kneel with you there
We'll find there the God of eternal living
(Take me there) we will take you there
He'll take you there, He'll take you there, He will take you there.

There is no sorrow and no heartache there
There is no crying and no dying there
Won't you take me there, won't you take me there
Hallelujah, won't you take me there...
