Mansion Over The Hill Top

Last Wednesday, my friend lost her fifteen year old son in a four wheeler accident. It was obviously very devastating to his family, friends, and community. Yesterday, we attended his funeral... it was very heart breaking! During the service the song "Mansion Over The Hill Top" was sung by a young lady. I've never heard this song before, and the words truly touched my heart! I hope it gave much comfort to his family and friends, in their time of need. Here's the words to the song..

Mansion Over The Hilltop

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined

I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged I’m heaven bound
I'm but a pilgrim in search of the city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown

I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

....In loving memory of Jonathan Rooney
