Eternity : To the tune of "CARRICKFERGUS". { by request }{Linda Tracy}

   


                    I had a dream, I was in Heaven,

               With all my loved ones, from years gone by.

               A choir of angels, proclaimed my entrance,

              The greeting, heart’ning from one and all.

              Heard my Creator, give a welcoming,

              ‘’To the JOY of my dear Lord,’’

              No worldly cares, trials, temptations,

              Angelic choristers, sang in accord.


               I gazed with wonder at all the splendour,

               The glorious jewels adorned around,

               The streets, they glimmered with many gemstones,

               Two dozen elders on radiant thrones.

               That Great White Throne, it stood before me,

               Earth and Sky did flee away,

               It was the Judgement  and thanks to Jesus,

               I had escap'ed, that flaming fire. 

chorus music 

               Now I'm in His Will, and He keeps me steadfast, 

               Walks beside me every day,

               He is my Saviour and I fully trust Him                 

               To guide my footsteps and lead my way 

               He is my Saviour and I trust Him fully

               To guide my footsteps and lead my way.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

I love you dad.

    I told my dad, while on his bed, assuming he did sleep, In hospital, [ he'd not come home ] with tears my eyes did weep, “I love you dad” Then hugged him tight, while feebly he replied “I.............love...............you................too..............son” THAT’S the thing I cherish, since he died. With forty years age difference, while young, we were not close. He wasn't very tactile and nor was he verbose, But as we aged, did closer grow, in ways he’d show his love, We’ll meet again, don’t know the ‘when’, – the ‘where’? – in Heaven above. I then went out to my car after this and bawled my eyes out at having had this special moment.
