From Time to Forevermore

I gave my heart to Jesus for keeping, a long time ago

I had no idea of just how quickly the sands of time would flow

Bringing nearer thoughts of my passing to the other side

That it won’t be as long  as it has been for sure

And the day and hour approach rapidly when it will be time for me to leave

 Exactly when that day and hour is, is not given for me to know

But, I do know that when I depart, there will be loved ones left to grieve.

I will have to tell them now, not to weep for me when I am gone

Because trouble, frustration, heartache, and sorrow will have, at last, been forced to leave me alone

And I will be skipping with saints from days long gone by

And strolling the streets of gold in that City built in the sky.

Doing What I Can, While I Can Because I Care,
