If I Could Speak ToYou From Heaven
By George Thurlow
If I could speak to you from heaven
This is what I'd like to say: Don't be saddened at my parting, Lift your hands to Christ in praise. For at Calvary death was defeated; Now there is victory over the grave. As the tomb could not hold Jesus, Through this same power I've been raised. If I could speak to you from heaven And tell you what I see, You'd be shouting Hallelujah! Not weeping over me. It is I who feel so sorrowful For those I've left behind, But over here in heaven No teardrops dim the eyes. If you only knew how joyous This life of eternal bliss, The pain you feel at my parting Would turn to happiness. For heaven is more glorious Than mere words could ever describe. I am holding hands with Jesus And we're walking side by side. Oh my friends and loved ones, May these words bring comfort to you. Someday we could be together again, There could be a place prepared for you. But as for me, my race is run, But there still is time for you. Please give your heart to Jesus So you can be here too! *This poem was put to music by Diane Fenderson and is featured on her CD I'll Trust The Potter's Hand 2012 |
