I Have a Place In Heaven
Please don't sing sad songs for me, Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place, Away from pain and tears, I'm far away from hunger, And hurt and want and pride, I have a place in Heaven, With the Master at my side. My life on Earth was very good,
As earthly lives can go, But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know... My heart is filled with happiness,
And sweet rejoicing too, To walk with God is perfect
peace, A joy I never knew.
A Celebration ofLife
