Eternal Everlasting Joy

Sometimes, I think about my life And the prices I have paid All the places I have been The choices I have made Seems somewhere along the path I stumbled upon a stone At that moment I realized I’d forgotten my way home My home became a prison cell My memory was forgotten My soul was like an egg An egg that had gone rotten Sorry I had to go away You didn’t deserve my shame I moved very far away No connection to my name My life has always been a lie One I kept hidden from you When you thought I was in college Serving time up in the zoo On the day I was released You thought I graduated The moment you were most proud Another lie to be hated I have learned it’s never to late I believe those words are true Grandma I’m on a mission I will graduate for you I really want to earn the pride You gave me so long ago I think it will bring some peace Releasing guilt up in my soul I’ve learned in the game of life We must earn our pride Even if the people are gone Resting on the other side I’ve learned in the game of life Even though they may be hard Choices aren’t like rolling dice They're not like flipping cards Choices define who we are I know these words are true Every choice I know make Are bringing me back home to you Grandma, I know where heaven is It’s right here inside my heart Inside of mine your memory Until death will never part During the time I have left I vow to always let it show All the seeds you sowed in me I shall nourish as they grow In the end I’ll sit with you Just like when I was a boy We’ll sing and praise Jesus’ name With eternal everlasting joy
