Two Places at One Time

My pastor's wife and I were discussing the famous River Street today at one point, and ever since we had that conversation, my head has been spinning with these words. I let my mind wonder for just a second about how much I enjoy walking along the cobblestone sidewalks and the interesting sites down there. And this just stuck in my head.

I heard this years ago, but with the condition the world is coming to, it's kinda sitting in the forefront of my brain, these days. I'm not anxious to stay around this joint if it gets much worse, just to be honest.

Just wanted to share the beautiful thoughts of someone's imagination regarding Heaven, while still attempting to exist here.

"Every time I walk on cobblestone, I imagine streets of gold
And beyond this house I'm living in, there are mansions , I am told.
I know there's so much more to life, than meets these human eyes
Seems I'm always in two places at one time.

Every time the wind blows through the pines, I can hear the angels sing
And beyond the smoky mountain tops, There are surely grander things.
I know there's so much more to life, than meets these human eyes
Seems I'm always in two places at one time

Now I've been called a dreamer, a poor soul out of place,
But my heart is firmly planted in a field of endless days..........

Every time this world has ever tried to offer me its best
I think about the place I'll see when I am laid to rest,
I know there's so much more to life than what we realize
Seems I'm always in two places at one time."

Sometimes I'm tempted to get overwhelmed with this earthy chaotic process and allow my priorities to drift and get sidetracked - but not for long. I truly want my affections set on things above....not down here.
