"If i'm not here"

December 31, 2016

If you should wake tomorrow

and find that I'm not here

remember how much I love you

and please don't shed your tears.

For my life on earth is over

My days have been fulfilled

I did what God intended

My rows have all been tilled.

Just think of me with smiles

Hold my memory in your heart

For if you don't forget me

We'll never be apart.

For all the loves I held so dear

I'll be there by your side

watching, standing over you

I'll always be your guide.

And if one day you feel a sense

a whisper in your ear

Don't be alarmed, it's only me

to let you know I'm near.

And if we never got to hug

or say the word goodbye

Please, don't have a broken heart

and sit around and cry. 

Remember that I loved the Lord

and made my peace within

I prayed for his forgiveness

He washed away my sins.

So if I die tomorrow

and the sun for you won't shine

Just look up towards the heavens

I'm with the Great Divine
