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!)
