Close your eyes and see me;
Stop your ears and hear;
Close your mouth and speak to me;
From your heart, my precious dear.

The world around you clamors;
The sights and sounds confuse;
But when you look inside yourself,
you'll find my heaven views.

I've placed a secret memory,
Within your soul, so deep;
I knew you'd come to know me,
My love for you I keep.

So enter into heaven,
When ever you delight;
I'm waiting in the throne room,
Whether morning, noon, or night.

The Hansen Family.
