Please don't cry for me though I'm gone

For in heaven I have made my home.

I know you'll miss me through the years

But, remember, in heaven there are not tears

Up here in glory I've taken my place

Near the Father where I can view his face.

I'll only be gone for a short little while

Until I greet you in heaven with a smile.

I'll be waiting there with arms open wide

To open the gate and invite you inside.

We'll sit down at the marriage Supper of the Lamb

United with Christ and all of his clan.

We'll drink from the last communion cup

As death and hell are swallowed up.

Then we'll drink a toast from the 'living wine'

While seated at the table where we shall dine.

The angel, Gabriel will blow his Gold Horn

As comfort is given for those who mourned.

We'll be surrounded by many angel wings

While seated with our Lord and our King

He'll read to us from the Lambs book of life

The names written in it, His church, His bride.

We'll be with all our sister and our brothers

While seated there at the last supper.

My grave will not even be a memory

For death was swallowed up in victory.

Here in heaven is where we'll reign

With Christ the Savior our Lord and our King.

"...and I, in righteousness, I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness."

(Psalm 17:14, 15)
