3 DEC 2013 · MY FINAL REQUEST
Death is not final for those in Christ,
Those who served Him during this life.
God, not death, has the final word
for those who obediently and joyfully served.
When a saint dies,
A precious jewel leaves the earth,
A rare jewel of great worth!
They enter a door of eternal gladness,
Not a door of misery and sadness.
Our time here on earth is not very long,
Today we are here and tomorrow gone.
But the Shepherd and lover of our souls
Has prepared a place for His faithful fold;
So when the final chapter of this life ends,
A new chapter in Paradise with Him begins.
Your love one is absent from sight; not your heart.
Death only keeps you physically apart.
If you could hear the voice of your love one today,
I believe this is what you would hear him/her say:
I hope the tears you shed for me,
Are tears of joy and victory
My spirit and soul are not deceased
But abide in GOD'S kingdom of joy and peace.
I did my best to be the keeper of my brother
To be kind and generous to family & others.
You shall see me no more for a moment of time;
I'm with the Lord and doing fine.
Though you've gathered today in remembrance of me,
What really matters is where you’ll spend eternity.
The saddest thought that enters my mind,
Is for a soul to be lost at the appointed time.
Don’t allow your life to slip away,
Without giving your heart to Jesus today.
As I stepped into eternity to be with my King,
My soul began to rejoice and sing
My earthly body will be placed in the ground,
But I’m clothed in white w/ a righteous crown.
The casket you see holds an empty shell.
I'm in heaven where the righteous dwell;
And with my soul it is well.
There are colors in heaven I’ve never seen!
There are beautiful trees and clear, blue streams.
No natural lamps are in this place-
It’s illuminated with God’s amazing grace.
The glory of God is on every wall.
The aroma of worship fill the halls.
The presence of God is precious and sweet-
His praise is written on every street.
Hosanna Blvd, Emmanuel Lane.
Everywhere, throughout heaven, the name of
Jesus is proclaimed!
"Dead End" roads can't be found.
All of heaven is holy ground!
I see the All-powerful God. The Holy One.
He's clothed in a garment brighter than the sun.
I see saints and angels dance before God’s throne-
Proclaiming Him King and Lord alone!
They fill God’s kingdom w/ thunderous celebration-
And reverently bow in adoration.
They bow before the Ancient of Days
giving Him honor, glory, and praise.
Throughout heaven holy hands are raised-
To the Alpha and Omega – the Truth, the Life,
and the only Way!
The streets of heaven are paved with gold.
The atmosphere is neither hot nor cold.
There are no blind, deaf, or lame.
There is no sickness, death, or shame.
There are musical sounds I've never heard
And the atmosphere is alive with God's word!
Joy and laughter are exploding all over the place
I'm standing in the Lord's presence face-to-face!
Our labor for God is not in vain.
There is no sorrow; there is no pain!
There is no jealousy, hatred, or greed
In the kingdom of God’s righteous seed.
I see a table prepared for a feast
covered with God’s love, grace, and peac!
Eyes truly haven’t seen nor ears heard
what God has prepared for those who faithfully served!
I’m now in the place Christ prepared for me.
There’s no other place I’d rather be.
To my family and my friends – be at peace and be blessed;
And to all of you I'm making this final request:
Rejoice with me! I’m finally home!
I see King Jesus on His throne.
No words are adequate to describe what I see
As I stand in awe of His majesty.
His servant,
Sandra G. Williams
