A Better View
Dear loved ones lift your spirits, and take a peek up here.
One glimpse will soothe your sorrow for my new home will appear.
You'll see this land of promise, which we often talked about,
Its grandeur is far greater than we dreamed, without a doubt.
I expected golden pathways, mansions fair and gates of pearls,
But this place exceeds the visions I beheld while in that world.
Look with love and find great comfort as you gaze beyond the veil;
Fill your hearts with joy and join me in God's presence, where I dwell.
What a thrill to be here dancing in the midst of Heaven's throng,
See me mingling with the angles singing praise and worship songs.
Though you miss me I’m not distant; I still have my sights on you,
I just crossed into forever where I have a better view.
Keep good mem’ries to console you but let grief and mourning go;
Smile dear loved one, I’m in Heaven, living in God’s Gracious Glow.
