My Abiding Home

When I die, please don’t cry.
   I know where I go,
   In a vision it was shown.

  Open arms He will wait for me, 
  I can’t wait to embrace Him.
  When I look up unto His face,
  All I will see is His love and grace.
  A new garment I will wear,
  No more pain and sorrows to bear.

  The angels will prepare a feast,
  To celebrate the return, of an earthly deceased.
  In heaven I will be reborn,
  Amongst the heavenly beings I now belong.
  A cake with one candle I will blow,
  To commemorate my one day, birthday 
  And eternity days in a row.
  
  So when I die, please don’t cry.
  Don’t visit a shallow grave,
  My bones are there but my soul is safe.
