Midnight Splendor       Happy writing Bette

  Midnight Splendor     In the light of midnight splendor I feel my life slipping away I see within my mind’s eye The splendor of a bright new day     My life on earth now has ended I’m floating high above the earth In the brightness of God glory My soul discovered my new birth     No more pain, no more sorrow All my tears are wiped away In the distance I see lost loved ones My childhood friend Misty Mae     Aunts and uncles, all long dead Grandma and Grandpa I do see Clothed in brightness of God’s glory Holding out their arms for me     Family members I never knew They are so familiar to me now Bright shining faces in the crowd No one has a worried brow     A brilliant light beckons me on Within the light I see God’s face Smiling with His arms outstretched A glorious rainbow ends my race     Color here has new splendor Oh so much brighter than before Clear water of the crystal sea Rippling on the sands of heaven’s shore     Streets of gold, heaven’s highway Jeweled street signs guide me on Rivers flowing with milk and honey At the breaking of this glorious dawn     Breaking dawn reveals God’s plan The reason I was even born All knowledge is mine to hold Reasons why no one should morn     All the knowledge of the ages Fills this tiny mind of mine Walking on clouds in God’s realm Standing amidst God’s shrine     Approaching the throne I kneel Bow my head in homage to the King Around me I hear gentle voices All the angels around me sing     Singing of God’s great glory I have reached my reward Life on earth was just a moment My life eternal with my Lord    Soul and body come together No pain or sickness anymore Yes I heard my Savior knocking So glad now, I opened the door     I see a crown filled with jewels My creator holds it up high All my loved ones waiting Welcome home I hear them sigh     Oh no don’t call me back Please allow me to stay I’m not of this world anymore Oh dear family this I pray     I feel the shocking of my heart Pulling me back through time Away from my immortal body Back to a world of filth and grime     This heart of mine fights return Electricity’s burning sting I feel my beating heart getting stronger My life restored so surreal     Midnight splendor lost in darkness Heaven’s light has drifted away All my loved ones sadly waving You’ll come again another day     I awake to artificial light Not the brightness of before Faces of live loved ones smiling I’m back on earth once more     My first words to my loved ones Next time my heart fails to beat Let me go, don’t bring me back At God’s table I’ll take my seat     Brightness, of my Savior’s light Filled my soul with heavenly song I tell you now; I’m not afraid to die My eyes have beheld heaven’s throng
