Heaven isn’t so far from the present It waits, not for the last breath But for the first breath.. when the story of forever, everlasting, eternity’s beginning when death is a has-been, and the new day, the new way, the new for which we once prayed is commencing, arising to portray what is to be… the poetry of praise the worship of One who is the rising Son far more graceful and true, than the sunshine who greets the dawn, the reflections now long gone… Heaven isn’t so far away, after all She is here in the present day, in a moment when I say… reach out to the ones you love, write your stories, your memories, your tenderness and life’s intimacy across the skies, so blue and alive with the music, pouring from the feelings erasing every ending so you can see, the forest and the trees the song that never fades this song that plays and plays whispering life to those who can’t see it is a story that writes in peace it is a journey through the darkest grief but it is God’s purpose – and I believe He is alive and He sees every need He is alive, despite the tomb’s greed He is alive and I can see beyond that tree, where He once died… but He came back He rose from the tomb and painted the news, “God is not dead and He’s alive to prove… whatever might be said, He is the proof, the darkness didn’t win and we’ll begin again in that home on high, where no one ever dies in that heavenly light, where there is no night in that loving place, where there’s unending grace and we’ll forever praise, this love that will amaze this love that counts the days… with a promise that never fades, a promise that He made, when He rose from the grave a promise of love that stays, come what may love that never doubts – love that knows me, inside out and gives me a perfect peace, because He is here for me this love – it will never leave, because He is the King of Kings and He always sings… eternally the Prince of Peace always alive, and in victory, His voice can be heard rising about the darkest grief, rising above the pain and sorrow rising so that I will forever know… who holds my tomorrow Heaven awaits and I know the One Who’ll one day, take me home The One who died and, in three days, arose To show us all that He ended our fears And, if we cling to Him, we’re forever in His care! Peace on Earth is more than a prayer He is love and love never forgets What it means to leave the darkness Enter the light where love has no shadow The love and light where He is all that matters!
