[Verse 1]
It was he who went away to heaven
To prepare a home for you and me
It was he who gave his life on calvary
That those pearly gates we might see
[Chorus]
And the first word in heaven is he
He's got son (he's got son ) he's name is Jesus
He more precious than all the world to me
And the first word in heaven is he
[Verse 2]
It was he who left the throne in glory
Came to earth to die and set us free
It is he who's seated by the father
Making plans for our eternity
[Chorus]
And the first word in heaven is he
He's got son (he's got son ) he's name is Jesus
He more precious than all the world to me
And the first word in heaven is he
He more precious than all the world to me
And the first word in heaven is he
