My First Moments In Heaven

Verse 1 (Lead with soft hum underneath) When I closed my eyes on earth below And my breathing slipped away I felt a peace I’d never known Like dawn replacing gray No weight of fear, no shadowed doubt No sorrow left to tell Just golden light before my eyes — My first moments in heaven Tag (Hold harmony on “Heavennnnn”) ⸻ Verse 2 (Add gentle swells from Tenor) I heard a sound like distant song Growing sweet and clear Every note was filled with joy No trace of pain or tear The gates swung wide, the streets shone bright Like diamonds in the sun And love was written everywhere — My new life had begun Chorus (Full four-part harmony) Oh, my first moments in heaven No more goodbye, no more pain All the broken things behind me Never to return again Every promise now before me Faith has finally become sight Oh, my first moments in heaven Were bathed in holy light ⸻ Verse 3 (Bass featured line) I saw the faces I had missed Standing strong and young Laughing like no time had passed With songs forever sung And every hug was healing Every smile complete The joy was like a river Flowing at my feet ⸻ Bridge (Build — tight harmony, softer at first) Then I saw Him standing there Scarred hands, eyes of flame Every knee and heart bowed low At the whisper of His name I fell down in pure wonder No words could I command He raised me up and called me His And took me by the hand ⸻ Final Chorus (Big, ringing chords) Oh, my first moments in heaven Glory beyond compare All the years of hope and longing Answered in the air Every tear He gently wiped Every fear undone Oh, my first moments in heaven Had only just begun ⸻ Extended Barbershop Tag (Slow, expanding harmony) Just begun… Heavennnnn… My first… sweet first… Moments… in heaven…
