Riding the Wings of Angels

Riding the Wings of Angels

Released like a dove to the heavens my soul is free at last
No more pain or sorrow, just memories of my past
What once seemed such a distance when I looked up to the sky
Now I’m riding the wings of angels as I wave and say goodbye

My mansion now awaits, the sidewalks paved with gold
The sign out front said vacant but now the sign says sold
I enter through the gates the beauty amazing and so surpassed
I’m sitting at the feet of Jesus as I get to touch his face at last

I know your hearts are heavy and I know your souls must grieve
Just know there’s a place in heaven if you only just believe
Rejoice my friends in knowing we will be together again it’s true
When you ride the wings of angels and until then I say adieu.
