If My Life Flashed Before My Eyes

If my life flashed before my eyes… There would be a moment of sadness Yet, there would be more joy and gladness There would be a smile of recollection With the melody of tender affection There would be assurance and contentment Without the whisper of pain or resentment There would be a light to illuminate the heart With peace and love that you’d never take apart There would be inspiration beyond words With originality expressed in the afterwards There would be imagination glowing silently On a breath of rich kindness, never violently There would be memories of compassion and caring Hope and faith that are beyond our comparing There would be honesty and integrity brought to life Relieving all worry, sorrow and even the strife There would be miracles performed through prayer Promises of God’s gifts so we will never despair There would be pictures of the ones I’ve cherished Guaranteeing my heart that they haven’t perished There would be sights and sounds and amazing grace Tenderness that comes from knowing His embrace There would be peace like none I’ve ever known Reassuring my soul that I won’t ever be alone There would be an inner feeling of absolute wonder More vibrant than lightening and louder than thunder There would be the warmth of knowing God is here There is no doubt I’m loved and have nothing to fear There would be the love that brings hearts to pledge Their lives for the purpose of sharpening truth’s edge There would be the praise that fills up my soul With worship and singing as His love does console
