HEAVEN BOUND HEAVEN SENT Amen

Lyrics

[Title: Heaven Bound, Heaven Sent] [Intro: 8 bars. Flowing grand piano; warm keyboards bloom underneath. A distant helicopter fades into a soft cymbal swell. Guitar introduces the recurring four-note hook.] [Verse 1: Josh; close, sincere vocal] My name is Josh; I work these halls When the last school bus is gone. A custodian with willing hands, And a faith that carries on. I clean the messes left behind, Each hallway, desk, and chair. I love my work; I serve the Lord, And turn each task into a prayer. [Verse 2: Lavender; guitar answers between phrases] Lavender flies her helicopter around; I wave from the school, my feet on the ground. She says, “Come fly away with me.” I think, “That’s how my life should be.” Like heaven’s gift, with all her charms, She almost lands right in my arms. I ask You, Lord, to bless my plans Before I place them in Your hands. [Prayer lift: bass enters; cymbal swell] Father, You see the quiet things, The work the world may never see. Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, Keep Your love alive in me. [Chorus: open the vocal; full band] Heaven bound and heaven sent, A life of love is a life well spent. Lord, help this searching heart to see The love You’re bringing close to me. Someone to pray, someone to stay, To serve beside me day by day. Heaven sent and heaven bound, Love can bloom on humble ground. [Turnaround: 2 bars. Piano carries the hook; guitar answers.] [Verse 3: Isabella; stronger drums, a restless guitar line] Isabella lands in evening light, Her helicopter silver-white. She brings a rose; she knows my name, And sets my restless heart aflame. She says, “Come chase the world with me.” I dream of all that we could be. I pray, and know what I must do: That road won’t lead me close to You. [Verse 4: Heather Skylar; drums soften; warm piano] Then Heather Skylar comes one day, And helps me put the chairs away. She asks, “Could you walk home with me?” We share our dreams beneath the trees. We speak of Jesus, hopes, and grace; I see Your kindness in her face. She takes my hand, and all at once, Heaven feels close enough to touch. [Short lift: tension rises; low toms build] Three voices calling out my name; I can’t keep feeding every flame. Lord, teach my restless heart to choose A love that brings us close to You. [Prayer bridge: piano and voice first; gradually rebuild] Jesus Christ, You set me free; Your grace is life and hope to me. Teach us both to love and give, And honor You in how we live. A meal to share, a hand to lend, A prayer beside a hurting friend. Heather Skylar, take my hand; Let’s give the Lord the life we’ve planned. [Guitar solo: 8 bars. Develop the recurring hook into a soaring melody with long bends and sustained notes. Keyboards answer gently. Build through a rolling tom fill and a broad cymbal crash.] [Final chorus: strongest vocal; rich harmonies] Heaven bound and heaven sent, A life of love is a life well spent. Lord, thank You for the love I see In Heather Skylar here with me. Someone to pray, someone to stay, To serve beside me day by day. Heaven sent and heaven bound, Love has bloomed on humble ground. [Final lift: hold the names clearly; guitar sings between lines] Heather Skylar, heaven sent, A life of love is a life well spent. You brought a little heaven down To this working man on humble ground. [Wedding outro: drums fade; piano and soft harmonies] Now wedding bells and skies of blue; She says, “I do.” I whisper, “I do.” We build a home; we work and pray, And choose each other every day. Heaven bound and heaven sent— A life of love is a life well spent.
