LIFE FOREVER

THINK OF ALL THE JOY AND WONDER,
THAT THE ALTER IN A CHURCH CAN BRING.
THERE, AS A BABY, YOU WERE PRESENTED,
TO CHRIST, OUR SAVIOUR KING.

THEN AS YOU GREW A LITTLE OLDER,
AND CONFIRMED YOUR VOWS TO GOD,
WASN'T THAT THE TIME YOU SAID
"I DO" AND GAVE CHRIST A LITTLE NOD?

NOW AS THE YEARS WENT ROLLING BY,
YOU FOUND A MATE YOU TOOK FOR LIFE.
THEN VOWED TO GOD FOREVER,
THAT ONLY SHE COULD BE YOUR WIFE.

YEARS DID PASS WITH BLESSINGS,
AS LIFE ON EARTH WILL DO,
A FAMILY CAME WITH SLIGHT NOTICE,
WHAT A BLESSING THAT ONLY GOD CAN DO.

THERE, YOU PRESENTED EACH AT THE ALTER,
TO GOD, AS YOUR PARENTS PRESENTED YOU.
YOU PRAYED FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS,
FOR HIM TO BE UPPER MOST IN THEIR LIVES TOO.

YEARS HAVE PASSED, AS YEARS WILL DO,
LIFE ON EARTH WAS PASSING BY.
YOU TRIED YOUR BEST TO DO GOD'S WORK,
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY "GOOD BYE".

YOU ARE PRESENTED TO GOD AGAIN,
AT HIS ALTER AND HIS THRONE.
THE HOLY FATHER SAYING, "MY CHILD,
YOU DID THE VERY BEST YOU COULD
AND NOW HEAVEN IS YOUR HOME".

THERE AT HEAVENS GATE WAS STANDING,
MY LOVING WIFE I TOOK ON EARTH,
I TRULY KNEW, SHE WOULD BE WAITING,
AND THERE GOD GAVE US REBIRTH.
