Story Behind The Song

Wanna get out of Jersey, but ultimately Heaven is the place I don't want to miss.

Song Description

Our seach for the "perfect place" is answered by Christ's promise of the place He's prepared for those who love and know Him.

Lyrics

PERFECT PLACE by David H. McIntosh 2005

V1 /C
I was fishin with the net just the other day
when I found a web site about real estate
You tell em what you want in your perfect place,
hit ?enter? and find that blissful state

So I said how I wanted peace and rest,
a simple joy and a life that?s blessed
Adventure every day in a wholesome way
and treasure that none can take away

CHO.
(I need a) low crime rate, low taxation,
a pleasant climate, and recreation
A home of our own, clean air and water,
there?s so much to do and see (it?s a joy to go outside)
The perfect place for you and me (The perfect place for you and I)

V2
I was checkin? out the magazine?s annual list
of the ten best places for me to live
Somehow in spite of their expertise,
none of those places appealed to me

Then I noticed how last year?s favorite town
was number 200 this time around
I guess a lot of folks moved there as advised,
and ruined that nice place overnight...
Br.

He has prepared a place,
Jesus is the Way,
come, ye wand?ring weary,
He?ll not turn you away.

V3
I?ve been reading in the Book of Jesus Christ,
there?s a perfect place in the By and By
Where you and I will never die
and everything will finally be just right

There?ll be no more sickness, pain or death,
no more searching, cause we?ve found the best
So wherever I may live this life,
I?ll keep my sights on Heaven?s lights..

CHO. 2
There?ll be no crime rate, no taxation,
a heavenly climate, and recreation
A home of our own, the crystal sea, (the river of life)
and life eternally, (there is joy on the other side)
The perfect place for you and me (you and I)
