When tomorrow starts without me (adapted)

Seen many years ago but adapted to give a better meter


When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not there to see
If the sun should rise to find your eyes
Are filled with tears for me

I wish you wouldn’t cry for me
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say

I know how much you loved me
The same as I loved you
And every time you think of me
I know you'll miss me too

So when tomorrow starts with out me
Please try to understand
An angel came and called my name
Then took me by the hand

He said my place was ready
In that Heaven far above,
That I would have to leave behind
All those I dearly loved

But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates
I felt so much at home
As God looked down and smiled at me
From 'pon his golden throne.

He said "This Is Eternity
And All I promised you
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew

I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day’s the same here,
There's no longing for the past"

So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right there, in your heart

Addenda to 'Who is this man'

Who is this Man Addenda (in blue) to an anthem by Mary Kay Beall entitled Who is this Man? sung in my home church choir a few years ago. Who is this man upon a cross By love's decree, brought low? They say He came to save the world Because God loved us so The King of Kings And Lord of Lords Eternally He'll reign Can it be true He died for me And yes, would die again Who is this man upon the cross? He is a friend to me And though I oft Him disappoint His love has set me free The King of Kings And Lord of Lords He took my sin and pain And yes it's true He died for me, But will return again

To Know, Know, Know Him. {song}

To know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him, Just to walk His way, In His will, to stay, Yes. to know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him, And I do, yes I do, do you? When He died for me, On that cruel tree, He endured such agony Just so He could set me free, He rose again triumphantly And He lives in Heav'n eternally, He wants you and me there too. Why can't men see How vast His love be? Some day He'll return To take His own to Glory. To know, really know Him, Is to love, truly love Him Live for Him each day, In His will, obey, Yes to know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him And I know, He loves you too.                                                                                       ...

"Wake me up before you go go"

 I heard this song this morning  On local radio Evoking strong memory Of really long ago. Was travelling from homeland That's Belfast, (north, six miles) To London's Heathrow airport, The song brought back some smiles. I sailed to Stranraar's harbour From our port, town of Larne Then o'ernight train going southbound Arriving there earl' morn. To catch my next connection Vancouver bound was I, The train ride, it was cheaper Than 'nother plane to fly Whene'er the train I boarded No seats avail'ble were Some military men were on them, Stretched out, without a care. I couldn't hear them snoring Or see the dreams they had But felt their tired demeanour To waken, would've been bad. Recall me having thought tough, How 'xhausted those men were, And how I'd feel if woken, To do so, wouldn't dare. The lines of song to my mind Came flooding back to me As coming from the soldiers So loved ones, they would see. So I just hunkered down, me, Near tr...
