Written upon the death of my father-in-law.
My life on earth is over.
I’ve drawn that fleeting breath.
My soul’s no longer present
For it’s gone on ahead.
I see the Gates of Heaven
Just beyond the eastern sky.
When I see the lights of Glory,
I see the lights of Home.
No sorrow now my children,
No grief, no tears, no pain.
A better place I’ m heading.
It’s a glorious day indeed.
Rejoice now, my children.
Don’t worry nor despair.
I’m in the arms of Jesus,
His tender loving care.
I’m headed to higher plain
No sickness, pain nor death.
And darkness there is absent
For Christ, the Light, is there.
I’ll be saving you a spot
Beside the throne on high.
We’ll praise the Lord together.
I hope to see you there
