I hope heaven has a front porch
With hardwood that would ground bare feet
Maybe there's no gate, but a screen door
That opens for all heaven's meant to keep
I hope heaven has a front porch
Without a railing between it and the sky
Where you don't fear the fall, but you'd watch the angels soar
Down to the world you left behind
I heard it's lined with gold
That's never grown old
In a place of eternity
Well I know it would be
More than I could dream
And it would feel like home
The day we meet
Home, Home
I hope heaven has a front porch
With the heart of the home all wrapped up
Just like where mama would rock me back and forth
Where who I am isn't who I was
I heard it's lined with gold
That's never grown old
In a place of eternity
But I know it would be
More than I could dream
And it would feel like home
The day we meet
Home, Home
I hope heaven has a front porch
With a rocking chair and a swing
Like where'd mama rock me back and forth
Where her prayers were in what she'd sing
I hope heaven has a front porch
Above all we know as love
Built by the hand who made this world
Built by a carpenter's son
Home, Home
