HEAVEN'S LIGHT

When I am lonely and sad

And I fear my heart will break,

I need only to lift my eyes toward the light,

To where my children partake.

Placing my face upright

Where I can see the glorious sky,

I imagine the brilliant light

In which my dear angels fly.

Never any darkness,

Only joy that makes them smile,

Knowing the place in which they dwell

Helps me walk the journey’s mile.

Knowing they are safe and sound

In my Jesus’ might hand

Let me rest (though I miss them so)

And gives me strength to stand

The light that surrounds

The one who died for me,

Shine upon my little girls

Not for a day, for eternity!

I’ll draw from this light

That will brighten my day.

Even through the darkest moments

That may come my way.

So when my journey on earth

Males me stumble and fall,

I need only to lift my eyes

And heed the Masters call.

For it’s there where my future lies

With the ones that I hold dear,

May this light shine forever more

On them in Heaven, and in me right here.
