Dwarfing the Dwellings

"The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.... And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the Highest Himself shall establish her. The Lord shall count, when He writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah." (Psalm 87:2,5,6).

The Lord loves Zion's pearly gates
More than all the dwellings found
In all this world's grand estates,
Where fleeting treasures there abound.

Behold the place that God prepares
Where He will dwell within our midst!
What in all the earth compares?
Nothing like it can exist!

For there in heaven God records
Every soul that's born anew.
Rejoice, all you who are the Lord's,
For He's prepared a place for you!
