To Heaven's Gate
When you take your final breath
And leave this earth to journeys end
Travel through the prism tunnel
Light as air, floating onward
Towards the end you see family and friends
Gone before but not forgotten
Jesus there with smiling face
Hand held out, He greets and guides you to a place
Pass you by the Holy Gates
Beyond their doors Heaven awaits
Jesus takes you before a stand
And looks through a book that only He can
Finds your name and sees your deeds
Good and bad, in your soul He sees
Will you quiver or will you shake
Bow your head or beg and plead
Ask forgiveness on your knees
Everything about your life
every burden, pain, and long lived strife
Every happy, good, and final deed
Is written in the Book that Jesus reads
Worry not what He sees
You have lived your life in Jesus name
Passed on His words not seeking fame
Jesus steps away from the stand
And gently takes you by the hand
Guides you to the awaited place
With Jesus you walk through Heaven's Gate

I looked down at you, innocent and dependent on me
A single mother was
by Jon Coe
Im taking off, I won't be back
trains are riding off their track
Buses, boats and passing spheres
schedules provoke my inner
In the departure lounge, impatient flyer's
Illuminate the signs to different worlds,
And make our breath utter a hasty
Yes, I have cried
Yes, my mouth is dry
But I won't let this beat me
Because I am strong you see
You broken my heart,
Even
