Just Over in Glory Land | by James W. Acuff 

Hi! Whose ready for the Glory Land? I think most of us are like the Apostle Paul, who yearned for heaven, but was drawn to the churches he began, to help them grow in the Lord. I also yearn for heaven, but there are some things I would like to do before my time is over. In any rate, we are treated to many references to heaven in the Bible. Oh, the things we will finally get to see!
Just Over in the Gloryland was written in 1906 by James W. Acuff. Here are the lyrics:
I’ve a home prepared where the saints abide,
Just over in the gloryland;
And I long to be by my Savior’s side,
Just over in the gloryland.
Refrain:
Just over in the gloryland,
I’ll join the happy angel band,
Just over in the gloryland;
Just over in the gloryland,
There with the mighty host I’ll stand,
Just over in the gloryland.
I am on my way to those mansions fair,
Just over in the gloryland;
There to sing God’s praise, and His glory share,
Just over in the gloryland. [Refrain]
What a joyful thought that my Lord I’ll see,
Just over in the gloryland;
And with kindred saved, there forever be,
Just over in the gloryland. [Refrain]
With the bloodwashed throng I will shout and sing,
Just over in the gloryland;
Glad hosannas to Christ, the Lord and King,
Just over in the gloryland. [Refrain]
