"Into His Arms"

 

It's so hard to say goodbye, and release love into the abyss of 

the beauty of the land of paradise

Letting go seems unnatural; our instinct is to hold on to the

body and spirit, with our love so precise

 

 

Oh, but death is not the end; it is the beginning for the child of

 God, and it is life renewed forever

It's a new dimension where tears are no more, health is whole, 

 and it's an ethereal beautiful endeavor

 

 

 When the angels come for us, we leave the cares of the world 

 behind, and we enter heaven's throne room

It's more real than earth, lasting for eternity, on golden streets, 

 with gates of pearl; it's vision's eternal womb 

 

 

We rise in newness of life, with a change to the immortal, when at 

 last we leave this planet for a new home

It's the desire for the Saint; we'll be with our Bridegroom forever,  

and we'll bid this old world Shalom

 

 

We will wade in the Rivers of Life, sing Holy where there is no 

 night, and we'll study war no more

And, we'll stare into the eyes of our Love forever, in a posture of 

worship, a constant demeanor of amour

 

 

In the company of the angels, we shall fly through the realms, 

 exploring the heavens and the stars

With a continual sound of new songs, sung with new chords,

 accompanied by strings of lyres and guitars 

 

 

 

Look up, dear ones, and let those loved ones go, for they will enter 

 into peace and joy, so lovely to behold

John on Patmos gave us a glimpse in Revelation; it was a vision of 

ecstasy, words on an easel of beauty foretold

 

 

We must say goodbye with happiness, for their arrival in a place 

 full of wonder, and know they wouldn't return

If we gave them a choice, when at once they tasted that home

 beyond the stars, their answer we'd discern

 

 

Release them now and let them soar into the eternal, leaving the

 pain, tears, and heartaches far behind

A mansion awaits the Bride, for whom the Lord has prepared; it's 

 been thousands of years in building and design

 

 

For all who have sent your loved ones on ahead, this is a prayer of 

comfort to let you know; there's no harm

We are joyful to commission those we love, to begin their new

 journey, and be welcomed "Into His Arms."
