Look Mama

Look mama, I can walk again
I can't feel the pain like before
All my tears have been wiped away
So don't be sad anymore

Look mama, can you see me run?
I can run as fast as the wind
I know you're sad 'cause I had to go
But today I met a new friend

He met me at the gates of pearl
And took me by the hand
He showed me things I've never seen
In a place called the promise land

Look mama, can you see me smile?
For today I met a King
They threw me a party when I arrived
You should hear these angels sing

Look mama, I made it home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Jesus said tell to you that I'm okay
And He'll take care of me


Dedicated to a family in my church who lost their only child to 
cancer today....He was eight years old
