In His Light

Am I still in the darkness when I close my eyes
When I'm dead shall my eyes see
What's my true self, what I had left
In this sinful body
Laid to rest, yet I confess

I'm not here but you see me
Yet I'm not there
I've gone away in a twinkling
A twinkling of an eye
It's not night here
Only God shines
And there's no need for the moon or sun, well

If you wanna no where I am
if you wanna no I'm not here in this grave
Nor am I in the ground
Instantaneously when I died I was brought up
caught up in His presents IN Heaven
I am in HIs light, in His light
I'll be there in HIs arms, in His arms

Am I still in the darkness when I close my eyes
When I'm dead shall my eyes see
What's my true self, what I had left
In this sinful body
Laid to rest, yet I confess

I'm not here but you see me
Yet I'm not there
I've gone away in a twinkling
A twinkling of an eye
It's not night here
Only God shines
sings
I'll be. . .
In His light God bless you always
In His light
You'll always be shone shining in, in
In His light
In His light God bless you always you will be in His light
In His light God bless you always
In His light
You'll always be shone shining in, in
In His light
In His light God bless you always you will be in His light
In His light God bless you always
In His light
You'll always be shone shining in, in
In His light
In His light God bless you always you will be in His light
You'll always be shone shining in, in
In His light
