We have the Holy Spirit within as a foretaste of future glory
(Romans 8:23; NLT).
1. You make my church
A little bit of heaven –
A foretaste of the joy
That lies ahead.
2. You make my mind
A little bit of heaven –
A place that’s sometimes free
Of pain and dread.
3. You make my heart
A little bit of heaven –
A space where we can talk,
And share our love.
4. You make my soul
A little bit of heaven –
Until we reunite
In bliss, above.
