I’ve Seen the Heavenly Light

One night, as I laid me down

I gently closed my eyes to sleep

Faraway it seemed to be

And then I saw the heavenly light

Slowly it did approach me

So bright it hurt my eyes

Then suddenly, I saw a figure

Dressed in all white

A wonderful glow from his head to his toes

I saw my father whom I’d loved

With all my might

His face was cancer-free

From the disease that had taken him from me

Thrilled to see him just one more time

My heart was full of glee

As I laid my head upon his shoulder

I cried and told him of all my pains and woe

He put his left arm around me

And lifted up his right hand

Suddenly we turned to the right

And what a sight I did see

A river of still water

Not a ripple nor wave it had

Its color of blue I’ve never seen before

Most often I’d heard it foretold, though

Such peace came over me

Something I’ve never felt before

The sun so bright and trees so green

Unlike anything on planet earth

I then asked my father if I could stay, forever

He said, “My child, you must return

“And everything will be all right

“Your work on earth is not yet finished

“For I know I’ve been chosen

“For something that man cannot diminish

“For there is a heaven with a light so bright

“It will forever outshine the sun

“All we have to do is just believe

“And he will help us make it through

“One day, if we can all be faithful

“We will enjoy having that everlasting life

“I know, because I’ve seen the heavenly light.”
