& All Our Lost Children

A Letter From Heaven

To all my family and friends as well,
I've something to tell you that's really swell.
I know you are hurting 'cause I've seen your grief.
But to be here with Jesus is such a relief.
The last day I lived was agony for you,
But God was my doctor and God saw me through.


All of a sudden, my eyes knew no night,
He whispered His name and I saw Heaven's light.
Oh! The beauty of Heaven, life's road I have trod,
Oh, Mother and Daddy, I'm living with God.
I'll always remember my days with you there,
And smile at my memories and the way you cared.
For God gave me to you and I loved you so dear,
That's why I'm waiting to live with you here.


I've heard some crying and asking .. Jesus, why?
Why He had to take me, why He had to let me die.
O dearest, loving Mother, my sweet, adoring Dad,
Don't question God's own choosing and try not to be sad.


Be of good cheer, let your minds and hearts to rest,
I'm standing here with Jesus, the One who knows the best.
So I just wanna tell you, I was proud to be your son,
And, I'm waiting here in Heaven beside the Holy One! "
