Thanks Billie, but can't take credit for those words. The are the lyrics to a great song, called "The Mansions of The Lord". "The Mansions of the Lord" was written by Nick Glennie-Smith, with words by Randall Wallace, for the 2002 film We Were Soldiers, starring Mel Gibson. The movie version was by the United States Military Academy Glee Club and Metro Voices and is on the original soundrack. Also, it was played at the end of President Reagan's funeral service in the National Cathedral. It's a great song, done like the great, older hymms of year's past, with a great message.

I saw the film - loved it, and the soundtrack, too - and also President Reagan's funeral service. I think oftentimes I take the music for granted and don't remember the words elsewhere.
