WHEN I AM GONE AWAY
WHEN I AM GONE AWAY

WHEN THE DAY MUST COME
THAT I MUST GO,
AND LEAVE THIS WORLD BEHIND
REMEMBER ME WHEN FLOWERS BLOOM
I WILL NOT BE FAR BEHIND.


REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES
WE SHARED THROUGHOUT THIS LIFE
REMEMBER ALL THE LOVE WE SHARED
AND HOW WE AVOIDED ALL THE STRIFE.


REMEMBER ALL THE HAPPY DAYS
WHEN OUR HEARTS WAS FULL OF GLEE,
REMEMBER ALL THE PROMISES WE MADE
THAT WOULD BE FOREVER FREE.

REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU
AND THE GOOD TIMES WE DID SHARE,
REMEMBER ALL THE TEARS YOU DRIED
WHEN MY BURDENS I COULD NOT BARE.


AND REMEMBER I AM WITH JESUS NOW
AND PLEASE DO NOT BE SAD.
FOR IN THIS LIFE DOWN HERE BELOW
YOUR THE BEST FRIEND I EVER HAD.

AS WE LOOK AT THE SIGNS ALL AROUND US
THERES ONE THING WE KNOW FOR SURE,
JESUS IS PREPARING HIS COMMING
TO TAKE US TO THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE.

UP THERE WE WILL JOIN WITH OUR LOVED ONES
WHO HAS LEFT US AND GONE ON BEFORE.
THEY ARE NOW REJOICING IN HEAVEN UP THERE
AND THEIR HEARTACHES THEY WONT HAVE ANYMORE.


THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER WITH JESUS NOW
FOR WHEN THE RAPTURE SHALL TAKE PLACE,
AND COME BACK WITH HIM TO BRING US HOME
BECAUSE OF HIS SAVING GRACE.

NO MORE TEARS WILL FLOW DOWN OUR FACE
NO MORE WILL WE EVER FEEL PAIN.
NO MORE WILL SATAN PICK ON US EVER.
FOR OUR VICTORY WE WILL FINALLY CLAIM.


IF YOUR HEART IS NOT READY FOR JESUS
YOU CAN ACCEPT IN YOUR HEART TODAY.
AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IN LIFE
HE WILL NEVER TURN YOU AWAY.

I HAD THE WINGS OF AN EAGLE
I WOULD UP AND FLY AWAY,
AND FLY FAR OVER THE CLOUDS
ON A BRIGHT AND SUNNY DAY.



I,D FLY ALL OVER THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD
LANDING FROM THERE TO THERE,
LONG ENOUGH TO GRASP THE BEAUTY
OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES SO FAIR.


I WOULD FLY SO FREE THE WIND AND ME
FLY INTO THE BRIGHT BLUE SKY,
AND LOOK FOR THE PLACE ANGELS LIVE
THERE I WOULD REST AND LIE.


THEN I WOULD GO ON MY JOURNEY
FAR OVER THE LAND AND SEA,
JUST LOOKING FOR MY DESTINY
THATS WAITING THERE FOR ME.


OH,TO HAVE WINGS LIKE AN EAGLE
JUST TO FLY INTO THE AIR,
AWAY FROM ALL MY BURDENS
THAT I MUST CARRY HERE.

THE SPLENDOUR OF HEAVEN


FAR ABOVE THE CLOUDS ABOVE US
HEAVENS BEAUTY LIES,
FAR TO RICH FOR HUMAN NATURE
AND TO BRIGHT FOR HUMAN EYES.



ITS A HOME OF ETERNAL GLORY
WITH AN EVERLASTING PEACE,
A HOME WITH NO MORE HEARTACHES
AND ALL SORROW WILL DECEASE.


ITS A HOME OF MILK AND HONEY
TO THE SOUL WHO ENTERS IN.
A SOUL THAT HAS NO BLEMISH
AND A SOUL THAT HAS NO SIN.



THE KING OF KINGS WILL REIGN THERE
WITH ANGELS ROBED IN WHITE.
OH WHAT AN AWESOME PICTURE
I CANT WAIT TO TAKE MY FLIGHT.


AND LIVE FOREVER WITH MY LORD
THE ONE WHO DIED FOR ME,
AND SING PRAISES WITH THE ANGELS
FOR ALL ETERNITY.



SOMEDAY SOON I WILL GO THERE
IN THIS LAND THAT HAS NO NIGHT,
AND SEE THE SPLENDOUR OF HEAVEN
WHERE THERE BURNS ETERNAL LIGHT.

TODAY I SENT A LETTER IN HEAVEN ABOVE
AND I SENT IT THERE FOR YOU,
ASKING GOD TO TOUCH YOUR LIFE ON EARTH
IN EVERYTHING YOU DO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I ASKED HIM TO EASE YOUR SUFFERING
AND THE BURDENS,YOU MUST BARE,
I ASKED HIM,TO COMFORT YOU
WHEN YOU FEEL THAT NO ONE CARES,,,,,,,,

I ASKED HIM TO SEND DOWN HIS ANGELS
TO GUIDE YOU DAY BY DAY,
AND TO GRANT TO YOU MUCH WISDOM
IF STORMS SHOULD COME YOUR WAY,,,,,,,

SO WHEN THIS LETTER REACHES HEAVEN
WITH THE TEARS,THATS ON MY HEART,
I KNOW THAT GOD WILL ANSWER,
AND I KNOW HE WILL DO HIS PART...........
