After Glow
God’s Garden
A Letter From Heaven
I'd like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I'm writing this from Heaven
Where I dwell with God above
Where there's no more
tears and sadness
There's just eternal love.
Of happy memories that I leave
When Life is done.
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering.
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered “Peace be Thine”.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
Verse 25
Verse 26
I'm Free
Miss Me But Let Me Go
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,
I'm following the path
God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play,
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes these things I too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full,
I've savoured much,
Good friends, good times,
A loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun is set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
I'd like to leave an After Glow of
smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun.
Verse 28
26
Miss me a little - but not too long
and not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me - and let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
and each must do it alone,
It's all a part of the Master's plan
a step on the road to home.
When you are walking down the street
And you’ve got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind.
And when you feel that gentle breeze
Or the wind upon your face
That's me giving you
A great big hug
Or just a soft embrace.
And when it's time for you to go
From that body to be free
Remember you're not going
You are coming here to me.
Verse 27
A golden heart
stopped beating,
Hard working hands
at rest,
God broke our hearts
to prove to us
He only takes the best.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
go to the friends we know,
Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me - but let me go.
