The Mourning
1997 Eric Sahlstrom
In this time of Mourning,
I've had a chance to reflect.
Of things I've done, of things
I've said
and things I do regret.
But as I'm laying quietly,
I hear an angel's sigh
the life force of a loved one
has just bade Earth "goodbye".
And though the hurt and pain
indeed the sorrow felt thereof
will surely as the sun rises
be replaced by God's Love!
Our loved one's they who loved
the Christ,
they need to fear no more,
'Cause Satan and his schemer's
cannot reach through Heaven's
door!
So let us think of them, and
praise our God.
They dance on Holy streets of
gold!
Never sick, never crying, never
growing old!
There's something dear I want
up there,
let's see, what can it be?
A house a hill, a treasury?
NO! I want Christ's Love for
me!
Although I know the Lord has
ready
a house white like a dove,
and all my family, yes FANTASTIC!!!
But what I want is the Father's
Love!
The pain is still there, it
has a season.
It really hurts, Lord, and I
know the reason.
Sometimes there's no time for
the goodbye
but Faith in Jesus reunites
us in the sky!!
(Thank you Jesus!)
