A group of skilled folk and bluegrass musicians gave a stirring rendition of a song about the eternal home for the believers and followers of Christ.
No one can be sure what will happen from one minute to the next. No one will get a second more or less than their allotted time. Everyone has a limited, specified amount of time on Earth, which is only a temporary place.
For those who believe in and follow the words and teaching of Jesus Christ, something much better than this Earth awaits. Those who have accepted Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will live with Him in heaven once this life is complete. In a clip posted on YouTube, the Brandenberger Family sings and plays a beautiful hymn about crossing over and living in the glory land, “Over in the Glory Land.”
As the clip shows, six musicians playing various instruments, while standing on a platform in what appears to be a small church. A large cross is on the wall behind the musicians throughout the video.
The lyrics in the song’s opening verse make it abundantly clear where the songwriter and the musicians intend to be once their time on Earth has come to an end. The musicians have confidence that they will be with the Lord in heaven.
“I’ve a home prepared where the saints abide
Over in the glory land
I long to be by my Savior’s side
Over in the glory land”
Later in the song, the musicians mention other aspects of heaven, what they expect once they arrive at their eternal home. They sing that they will join the angels. Also, they are looking forward to their mansion in heaven. But most of all, they cannot wait to finally see the Lord and spend time with Him in heaven. What a wonderful and joyful thought, they sing.
It’s unclear exactly how much time we have left on Earth. No one knows or can know. But because of Jesus Christ and His death on the cross, we have a chance at everlasting life with Him.
John 14:2 “In my Father’s house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?”
