| With the Love We Shared |
|
If tomorrow dawns and I am gone Then, ever so softly, lift your eyes on high. For, I won't be laying there, within the grave, But flying free beyond the sky. For, you can't stay within and weep for me. But, rise gently up on your feet To go search for someone all alone. For them it is to weep. With all the comfort you will know, That you miraculously find within your grief, Then give. For, pouring of that love Will be your sure relief ... As the sun shines bright around you. Go, now, and give that love away From all the joy we knew together, Stored up from all we prayed. Though you may forget details of the treasured moments, They made up your loving heart (All the nourishment, daily, in God's goodness) For the time when we would part. And, when every day is done, As you stop to gaze up at the stars, Pray for everyone we loved together While I delight in our Lord Jesus, from afar. For, every moment I am gone, Unable to hold you close once more, Reach out to touch another With all we lived ~ that was worth the living for. Don't cry too long that I am gone. Just smile for me and carry on. Go, bravely, with the love we shared, And sing, with every step, our song. Now is your time of grief but I will see you again and you will rejoice and no-one will take away your joy John 16:22 |
