Does the death of a beloved bring you closer to God
Foundation.
Do quiet moments, spent in reflection of a beloved, bring you closer to the God of your choice?
Title:
Calvary Dreams
(A lone voice whispers)
I heard your sweet voice
Today
On our anniversary,
Your birthday
That old well-loved familiar sound
Whenever I press
play
To see and hear you
On that old wedding tape
We once made
You still look so beautiful and sound so soft and sweet
I couldn't sleep
But stand up straight,
Weep
Rewind and repeat
Oh, why does God give you such grief
Whenever
I see you or hear your voice
To then stand still
In total disbelief
And realise you're now living in new lands of immortality
And then I always remember
Calvary
A dark place
Enshrined in human history
Hanging
Painted up
In so many famous
Art galleries
So much wrong
Done to one
So strong
One crucified
For us and mankind
To sing a new song
A new song
So all could belong
To the light
Whenever their time came
And they could no longer fight
Cancer like you
Time or some other kind of pain
So now
Whenever hear your sweet voice
Or your name whispered
Like on your birthday
Today
That familiar lovely sound
When I finally find the courage
To press play
To sit and reminisce about my true love
On that special day
Our wedding
And her incredible captivating spirituality
I just know you're safe
Smiling down
Looking my way
My beloved
Still loved wife called Mary
Because Jesus died
For you and me
Even though
Crucified
By Evil
But never alone
At Calvary
So we could all rise
With the call of the
Golden Trombone
To atone
To then enter
Our true home
Under God's
Super Dome
I still miss you so much, but deep down I always know
God only calls the best ones home early and that's why in April
It will always feel like snow
