16. Not Made With Hands

1 Christ went a building to prepare,
Not made with hands,
And ‘twill be decked with jewels rare,
Not made with hands.

Refrain:
I know, I know, I have another building,
Yes, I know, I know,
Not made with hands.

2 Just look over yonder and what do I see?
Not made with hands,
A heavenly home prepared for me,
Not made with hands. [Refrain]

3 I’ve never been to heaven but so I’m told,
Not made with hands,
That the heavenly streets are paved with gold,
Not made with hands. [Refrain]

4 The angels’ wings all tipped with gold,
Not made with hands,
They are so glorious to behold,
Not made with hands. [Refrain]

5 Some morning fair I’m going away,
Not made with hands,
And I won’t come back ‘till Millennial day;
Not made with hands. [Refrain]

6 I have some friends who’ve gone before,
Not made with hands,
Up there we’ll meet to part no more,
Not made with hands. [Refrain]
