Life in Heaven


Dear Life in Heaven,

Listen now to the songs of the trees,
Dance with the bears and play with the bees,
Admire the creation all around
And rest in the comfort of Jesus found.
You are His and He is yours
Holy Spirit, Father God will open understanding's doors
So run through each, one by one
Experience Christs' love, soak up Jesus the Son

So I can't wait to meet you, my child
Run fast, run hard for you were made wild
Too good, too pure for this world
where false kings reign, reality blurred
You will not taste what was designed for sin
Saved, made whole by Jesus's win.
You were truly made amazing, wow
For God wanted to spend time with you now

Called home you were on October 5th
8 1/2 weeks in this place, traded for bliss.
Remember your Mom and I down here
Where sin knocks and I battle fear,
Set free you are, chains ripped away
Be what you are, Jesus's path to stay
We need Jesus down here, so we will chose
To follow Him, forsaking earth which we loose -
To everlasting, everlasting, heavens domain
Where you are my child, free from pain.

With Love,
your earthly home

we will remember you
