It's something that happened so quickly!
Like a great rushing wind I can't see.
Strong arms are holding me close now
As they gently pull and guide me.
But there is something that tells me to go,
There's a longing that tells me to stay.
Then a voice says. "Don't look back, I am with you,"
Now I know that I have to obey.

As I start to see things all around me,
I notice a great shining light.
Our pathway is guided by --- ANGELS!
Shining bright on the left and the right.
Somehow this place seems familiar,
Almost like I have been here before!
Than all at once I am standing
In front of a big golden door!

On the right there is a man at an altar,
with a really big book in his hand.
He's smiling and says, "Great to see you.
Well done, you can come right on in!"
Then it hit me! I hadn't been dreaming!
This is real! This is really "THE GATE!"
Then it opened and the "arms" led me onward.
I'm going to see Jesus, I can't wait!

When I look at the light, it is brilliant..
There is Jesus right there on his throne!
Then I fall at His feet, and he lifts me up!
Says, "You're healed now, my child. Welcome home!
Your family is waiting to see you,
Your friends want to welcome you too.
You can see your new home here in Heaven!
It's all out there waiting for you!"

" I know you're concerned for your family,
The guilt that you feel deep inside,
For leaving them so abruptly,
With no chance of saying, "Good-bye."
There's no sorrow or grieving in Heaven,
And so with a touch of My hand,
All of your memories will be nothing but good ones,
I'll make sure they are nothing but grand."

"Since I brought you here without warning,
If there's something that you'd like to say,
You can tell their guardian angel,
And he'll give them your message today.
He can't talk to them directly,
He'll just impress what you say in their hearts.
It will help give them peace and contentment,
Give them strength while you are apart."

My Message To You
If I could tell you just one thing to ease your heartache,
If I could hold you one more time to ease the pain,
I would take you in my arms and say, "I love you!
Good-bye 'til we're together again."
