DON’T WEEP FOR ME

Don’t weep for me

If you could see

What I now see

You would not weep...you would shout “Victory!”

I know that only sadness now you feel

But, you need to know that heaven is real

If you could only see the streets of gold, the pearly gate

You would not cry, you might even envy my fate

The skies are always sunny, bathed in God’s own light

There is no more rain, no clouds, and no more night

I’ve left behind sickness, heartache, and pain

No more tears, broken dreams, for now all is gain

For, here, there is no more sorrow, poverty, or lack

I can tell you now-I don’t ever want to go back

Back to the earth, and the trials every day...

No, I’ll take Jesus, and peace....right here I will stay

Don’t weep for me now

You don’t know what you do!

Don’t wish I was there

For if you only knew!

On November 4th, at 3:25

It was not that I died, I became alive

I have no more sickness, no more pain

There will be no more clouds, no thunder, no rain

I served my country in Europe, in lands across the sea

But it is only now that I’ve seen real victory

I’ve traveled from the battlefield to serve Uncle Sam

And now I’ve landed safely in the bosom of Abraham

 For, here in eternity I will forever rest

And walk down these streets with the one called “Blessed”

For I have reached my eternal reward

With the chorus of saints I join in one accord

I don’t have time now to shed just one tear

I can only hope that one day, you too, will be here

My body I’ve left, but why should you grieve?

I’ve traded it all for this new body I’ve received

I’m singing right now, and laughing out loud

If you could see me right now, I know you’d be proud

I trusted in Jesus, and Jesus alone

I traded my hospital bed to sit on God’s throne

There should be only one reason for you all to cry

And that is to not know where you’ll go when you die

For one day you’ll die and you’ll be right here

But-if you’ve trusted in Jesus, you’ll have nothing to fear

I’ll wait, and I’ll wait for you to decide

If you don’t trust Jesus, then I’ll be the one who cried

So, don’t weep for me

You know the gospel is true

Follow its course

Lest, from above, I weep for you

So, just remember, if you start to cry

Instead, just look up at that big, blue sky

I’m looking down to tell you again, just like days gone by,

That “God loves you ... and ... so do I ...”
