A Place Prepared for Heaven's Great King:
No palace, no castle, no songs to sing;
Just a stable and a manger bare
A lowly place, to lie Him there.
A Place Prepared for Heaven's High Priest:
No house, no bed, no sumptuous feast;
Just a cross on a lonely hill!
Saviour Divine - men did kill.
A Place Prepared for Heaven's slain Lamb,
No pomp, no honour, for the Great I Am;
Just an empty tomb sealed with a stone!
Our Lord eternal, lay there alone.
A Place Prepared for Heaven's belovèd Son:
No sin, no iniquity, no unrighteous one!
A golden throne, a diadem:
Blessèd Mediator for chosen men.
A Place Prepared for all who see!
No condemnation - only purity.
Each chosen child; no war, no strife,
Only peace and love. Eternal life.
So come, prepare your heart today,
Jesu's death cast your sins away.
The gift is FREE: no cost nor loss,
The price was paid at Calvary's cross.
Turn to Jesus, forsake your sin,
The gate is there: come, enter in
The Prince of Peace, has made a way
Come to Him! Do not delay!
