Lord I come to You in tears
With many weary souls in mind
I lift them unto You in prayer
In the quiet of the night
These souls are hurting deeply
With pain beyond all words
These souls are growing weak
Under the burden of the world
They are the souls of all around me
My soul included too
We are tired and we are ready
To leave this life and be with You
Lord, please come to take us Home
Gather us in Your arms
Let us run through the gates of Heaven
To a place of no pain, no tears, no harm
I want nothing more tonight
Than to gather all those I love
To cling tightly to them and fly
To our eternal Home above
To run through the shining streets
With my loved ones close around me
To greet the precious souls
That we have missed so dearly
I want to laugh and sing with angels
To rejoice the end of goodbyes
To hold on tight, to never let go
As together we lift Your praises high
We will walk arm in arm with Jesus
Our hearts filled with love and peace
We will never again shed tears
For all the pain has ceased
This is my prayer tonight Lord
Comfort our weary souls
Hold us in Your sweet embrace
And please come soon to take us Home.
There are many days when I absolutely long to be in Heaven. When I see others going through the pain of losing a loved one, and think of the losses I’ve had in my life, and see the absolute sorrow this life sometimes holds, I feel overwhelmed with a desire to be swept up into the loving arms of God along with everyone in this life I hold dear. We are all running the race toward eternity, toward a place where pain and tears and sorrow have ceased to exist, and my legs sometimes just can’t move fast enough. How joyous a day that will be when we can run past the finish line and through the beautiful streets of Heaven.
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4
