My
dear Family,
I
am writing a special letter just to you.
I
want to tell you not to cry, I've made it safely
through.
Please
know that I am happy sitting here by Jesus'
knee
where
all the hosts of heaven sing and worship God
with me.
It's
so beautiful in heaven and so peaceful here
I know
that
even if I could come back, I wouldn't want to
go.
The
street is paved with purest gold, the trees
forever green;
the
river flowing from God's throne is crystal clear
and clean.
I
have a mansion all my own; I'm filled with joy
and praise.
I
listen to sweet music and my voice in anthems
raise.
My
vision's twenty-twenty and my ears hear every
sound;
I
see feet that once were crippled now walk firmly
on the ground.
The
old are young and lively; there's no tears to
fill my eyes...
all
the glories God has promised have come true
beyond the skies.
I
have everything I need now, so dear family,
don't feel blue.
I'm
writing you this letter just to say...I still
love you.
I'll
be waiting here in heaven for us to meet again
someday
and
I pray that you'll stay ready to be quickly
caught away.
But
until the trumpet's sounding and the sky is
opened wide,
please
don't cry for me, my loved ones...I am safe
by Jesus' side.
These
things have I written unto you that believe
on the
Name of the Son of God - That ye may know that
ye have eternal life.
1 John 5:13
