Lyrics:
You know, I look around at the world
And I see all the beauty that God made
I see the forest and the trees and all the things
And it says in the Bible that He made them is six days
And I don't know if they're a literal six days or not
Scientists would say, "No", some Theologians would say, "Yes"
It doesn't matter to me
But I know that Jesus Christ has been preparing a home
For me and for some of you, for two thousand years
And if this world took six days and that home took two thousand years
Hey man, this is like living in a garbage can compared to
What's going up there
Seaside sunset, silver linings round the clouds
Birds fly, singing, making such a joyful sound
Thoughts of Heaven somehow seem to fill my mind
But I can't even imagine what it is I'm gonna find
Ho ho ho
I can't wait to get to Heaven, when You'll wipe away all my fears
In six days You created everything
But You've been working on Heaven, two thousand years
Deep green forests, mountains reaching for the sky
Grasslands and deserts, Your creation fills my eyes
Thank you, thank you Jesus, though this beauty is just a taste
Of all Your, all Your glory I'll see when I pass through those gates
Ho ho ho
I can't wait to get to Heaven, when You'll wipe away all my fears
In six days You created everything
But You've been working on Heaven, two thousand years
Ho ho ho I can't wait to get to Heaven, when You'll wipe away all my fears
In six days, You created all of the world
But You've been working on Heaven (Working on Heaven)
You've been working on Heaven, Holy Spirit (Working on Heaven)
You've been working on Heaven, two thousand years
Working You've been working on Heaven, two thousand years
Working You've been working on Heaven, two thousand years
Working You've been working on Heaven, two thousand years
Working

David Wilkerson has died in a car accident April 27th 2011 ! Please listen to each part and read this message from his son written today ! Comments welcomed.Brother David and family ! NOW READ THIS .Friday, April 29, 2011.
By Gary Wilkerson [David Wilkerson's son]
"David served the purposes of God in his generation, then he died" (Acts 13:36).
On Wednesday afternoon my father, David Wilkerson, passed away in a car accident. We grieve the loss of a beloved father, a faithful husband and a holy man of God. My mother, Gwen, his wife of 57 years, was in the car also, but we are told she will recover fully.
Dad's 60-plus years of ministry have impacted the lives of those closest to him and extended to millions around the world. Today we feel a personal loss, but at the same time we rejoice knowing Dad lived life to the fullest, obeying God with devotion and loving Jesus radically.
He was known for his unlimited faith. He believed God could change the lives of gang members and transform the most desperate drug addicts. He believed that a dynamic church could be launched in the heart of Times Square, New York City. He believed he could be a man who loved his wife and children well. And he did.
Dad was not one for fanfare, acclaim or ceremony. He turned down invitations to meet with world leaders yet would give everything he owned to support a poor orphan or a widow in distress.
Like King David of old, Dad served God's purposes in his generation. He preached with uncompromising passion and relentless grace. He wrote with amazing insight, clarity and conviction. He ran his race well and when his work was done, he was called home.
I don't think my father would have retired well. I don't think he was one to sit in a rocking chair and reminisce about times past. I believe that Jesus, knowing this, graciously called him home.
Dad's last mission on earth was to be an advocate for the poorest of the poor—to provide relief and support for hungry children and widows and orphans. After founding Teen Challenge, World Challenge and Times Square Church, he sought to feed starving children in the most impoverished countries in the world. Today, Please Pass the Bread is saving the lives of thousands of children, through 56 outreaches in 8 countries.
Like King David of old, after having served God's purpose, he died. I know if my father were able to encourage you with his words today, he would invite you to give your all to Jesus, to love God deeply and to give yourself away to the needs of others.
The works he began outlive him. We can all attest to his impacting us—not only in his preaching, writing and founding of world-changing ministries, but in his love, devotion, compassion and ability to stir our faith for greater works. "
The above was written by Gary Wilkerson .
PS-FEEL FREE TO COMMENT AND SHARE WITH OTHER.THIS WOULD MAKE A GOOD PLAYLIST -ALL 4 PARTS ON YOUR CHANNEL.A VERY EXCELLENT STRONG MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH.BRO.DAVID.

The Rev. David Wilkerson, an influential evangelical minister who wrote a best-selling book, "The Cross and the Switchblade," about his work with drug-addicted youngsters in Brooklyn, was killed Wednesday in a car accident in eastern Texas.
Mr. Wilkerson, 79, was best known in New York as the founding pastor of Times Square Church, which opened in 1987 and is widely considered the first modern evangelical church in the neighborhood.
The nondenominational church attracts capacity crowds on most Sundays, its 1,500 seats usually filled by a combination of New Yorkers and a steady flow of American and international tourists. It had about 8,OOO MEMBERS.
Mr. Wilkerson, who kept an apartment nearby on West 50th Street, preached there regularly until about a year ago, when he and his wife, Ruth, retired to a home in Lindale, Tex.
Mrs. Wilkerson was seriously injured in the accident, but she was expected to survive, according to initial police reports.
"The Cross and the Switchblade," an autobiographical book that in 1970 was made into a movie starring Pat Boone, depicts Mr. Wilkerson as an unsophisticated preacher from western Pennsylvania who felt called by God to help troubled children in New York when he saw a picture in Life magazine of young men charged with a gang murder. Mr. Wilkerson moved to New York in 1958.
"He had never been to New York — he had certainly never met a gang member or a drug addict," said Mr. Wilkerson's brother, the Rev. Don Wilkerson of Brooklyn. "But he just came here — with his simplicity, with his naïveté, whatever you want to call it — and he changed people's lives."
The Rev. Don Wilkerson still operates the center for troubled youth in Bedford-Stuyvesant that his older brother started in 1958, and the center is still its original address, 416 Clinton Avenue.
The center, known as Teen Challenge, is the model for a network of faith-based Teen Challenge operations that now include 233 centers in the United States, and about 800 more in 80 other countries, according to the Rev. Dr. Jack R. Smart, president of Teen Challenge International, USA. Since the late 1970s, the enterprise has been administered by the Assemblies of God.
Writing in The New York Times in 1972, McCandlish Phillips described David Wilkerson's approach: "His method was an absolute model of simplicity, directness and total non-sophistication — he just went out on the streets and mixed with the kids and reasoned with them face-to-face, often quoting the Bible — and it worked."
