There
are some I have known
Who will never grow old,
But shall stay delightfully youthful
With tenderness untold.
Life shall never hurt them
With heartache or with tears,
For
they are kept perpetually guarded
From
living on for years.
Eyes to
shine in endless brightness
Hair to
keep that golden glow,
Velvet
cheeks, soft as the dew
No
wrinkles will they ever know.
Each
day will be filled with laughter
Where
delight can never cease,
To know
only sweetest kindness
True
love and joy and peace.
The Son will continually shine for them
And
bright stars will never fall,
Held for all time in delightful wonder
Where
fireworks enthrall.
Some of
them gave all their life
In
giving of their all,
Others
are gently carried away
Just in
answer to their call.
But they are the very blessed
To be
kept forever pure,
For how
wondrous is the love
Where
they always now endure.
Because
they are so safe
Yet
preserved constantly in my heart,
May
I let them fly and set them free
Into
their perfection above.
Oh Lord
Jesus, as I weep,
Until I
see their face
Please hold me in Your love.
