Zion

Zion is a place apart

from worry, sin, and fear.

Zion is for the pure in heart.

Zion is quite near.



Zion can fill all our land,

from sea to shining sea.

Zion can be a little band

made up of you and me.



Zion is where the righteous dwell.

It's more than time and space.

Zion welcomes all the earth

the entire human race.



"Come unto Me!" the Savior said.

"Come, and enter in."

He beacons us to follow.

We must abandon sin.



Once Zion fled away.

A city taken home.

Away from sinful folks who stray.

A world left alone.



Then came a flood of cleansing.

An ark thereon preserved.

A family carried forth to claim

all that man deserves.



So we look forth to Zion.

It will return again.

But Zion is the pure in heart

the city's celestial twin.



A city filled with people

who have a common goal

united in righteousness

to make it's people whole.
