I was walking down the hallway with a
Cup of coffee in my hand when I heard the
Song playing on the radio.
The words stopped me in my tracks.
"No more night, no more pain,
No more tears, never crying again."
As I stood there listening I saw our
Wedding picture on the wall staring at me and
I was overcome by a mixture of
Sorrow and joy.
I looked back at my wonder years with Jack, and
I was stung by my grievous pain.
But I looked ahead to the heavenly days,
The eternal glad days,
The no more sad days and I began
To sing along.
"See over there, there's a mansion
Prepared for me where I will live with
My Savior eternally."
And as the chorus came to a grand crescendo I
Pumped my fist into the air as though I were
Directing Randy's fantastic choir.
The words were wondrous:
"Praises to the great 'I Am' we will
Live in the light of the Risen Lamb."
Carefully holding my mug in my left hand and punching
With all my might with my right, I was
Quite an uncommon sight.
When the glorious song ended, my praise break was
Over too, and I walked to my bedroom,
Plopped into my easy chair and finished my
Cup of coffee which by now was lukewarm.
