This is what it is all about!

As I Walked Into Heaven

As I walked into Heaven, I looked around
for a friend I wanted to see.
From a distant I saw this figure
of someone coming closer to me.

There was warmth in the smile
and comfort on this face
which made me feel so at ease
upon entering this place.

Though I never felt worried
or unsure at any time
I was truly hoping
it would be a friend of mine.

So as this figure drew nearer
more light began to shine
my new heart started beating faster
could I really be meeting Jesus, for the first time?

What would I do
or what will I say?
The moment I always dreamt of on earth,
was not that far away.

I wanted to run up
but also wanted to fall to my knees!
Closer and closer the figure came
closer and closer to me.

How would I begin to say
all that has been in my heart?
How do I give thanks for all the love
that was always there right from the start?

Through all the Bible readings
and all the lessons learned,
it is now about to be made known
for which my soul has always yearned.

Praise to You, Lord Jesus
for the price You had paid
for if not for You
there would never be this day.

Peace, love, contentment
and never again to be alone!
I am now with my Savior,
I am now finally home!
