Streets of Gold

When Sharna was a little girl,

She devised the rules of play,

You can’t join in these words she said,

Unless you all are saved.

 

For the Holy Spirit spoke through her,

As these words to all she told,

Why burn your feet when you can walk,

There on streets of gold.

 

These words God spoke through Sharna,

Apply to you and me,

So why burn your feet when you have a choice,

To live in eternity.

 

So let’s free ourselves from Satan,

Let’s live by the rules of play,

Let us be with Jesus,

Let’s call on him today.

 

Let’s obey those words from Heaven,

The words that Sharna told,

Why burn your feet when you can walk,

There on the streets of gold.
