They say that life is fleeting

I know that this is true

I left this world so quickly

With no goodbye to you.

I know how much you miss me

Your tears fall ever light

The pillow where you lay your head

Is wet with them at night.

I know your heart is hurting

The words we left, unsaid

I love you’s left unspoken

Are spinning in your head.

The strength that I have carried

That served to make you whole

Remains to make you stronger

Within your grieving soul.

For you see, while you were weeping

On the day I passed away

At the gravesite near the flowers

Where my loved ones knelt to pray.

An angel came to see me

She took me by the hand

She led me to a kingdom

In a very distant land.

As I look down from the heaven

And see you standing there

Your heart so ever burdened

With more weight than it can bear.

I long to bring you comfort

I long to give you peace

I long to hold you closely

Cause all your tears to cease.

The joy I’ve found in heaven

Goes far beyond compare

The love that’s so elusive

Can be found here everywhere.

The light is softly shining

There’s no storm clouds here or rain

There’s no teardrops found in heaven

There’s no suffering, there’s no pain.

You needn’t be so troubled

Stay close to God and pray

That someday we’ll be together

One bright and glorious day.

So my love, you shouldn’t question

My dear you need not cry

I’ve gone to be with Jesus

I really didn’t die.
