Her breath became labored and then came her last,
\nWeak as it was, it carried her past
\nthe gravity of earth. Oh, her spirit does climb
\nBeyond the grasp of this present time,
\nInto the presence of God, what a meeting,
\nWhere all of the saints and loved ones are waiting!<\/p>\n
The flight seemed brief, as she landed above,
\nand Jesus himself welcomed her with His love,
\nAnd draped around her a robe of pure white,
\nHe led her through gates that glistened so bright,
\nAnd there up ahead she plainly could see
\nThe fullness of a magnificent tree.<\/p>\n
She did not ask, for it was well known
\nThat the tree on the river that flowed from the throne
\nWas the Tree of Life, with branches that spread
\nIt seemed forever as she walked on ahead,
\nAnd turning around quickly, she asked if she might,
\nBut before she could finish, He gave her a bite.<\/p>\n
Now no more suffering, no feeling of pain
\nJust joy overwhelmingly flowing like rain
\nDown her face. Oh, how can this be?
\nNo words can describe such ecstasy.
\nThe river is flowing, the light everlasting,
\nBringing love beyond love beyond love without asking.<\/p>\n
Oh, how? Oh, how can this be?
\nNo words can describe such ecstasy!
\nThe river is flowing, the light everlasting
\nBringing love beyond love beyond love without asking.<\/p>\n
