Hope Beyond The Grave

She’s gone they will say, true loved ones will shed a silent tear,
Tributes will flow, many unsaid while alive,
Even those who were cold would put up a show of love and praise…
But I will go on…go on to meet my Savior, my redeemer, my dearest friend,
Golden gates will welcome me home, a loving Lord will embrace me close,
Your work on earth is over my child, enter into the joy of the Lord,
How I hope there will be some stars in my crown…how I hope I would receive a thunderous applause,
The hosts of heaven will be singing Hallelujah to the Lamb,
No tears, no sorrow, no grief, no hurting words…
No depression, no embarrassments, no disappointments, no sickness…
All will be beautiful, joyful, serene, peaceful, and pleasant,
The sound of angels praising, beauty and only beauty all around…
Such a beautiful mansion, my Lord is preparing for me,
May I dear Lord invest in eternity…looking forward to that Glorious Hope,
Life does not end here…I will walk in the Land of the Living for ever and ever…
The Hope that keeps me going, the hope that keeps me strong,
The hope that loved ones will be there to welcome me home…
O glorious, beautiful, wonderful Hope!!
