about

The other night I had a dream. I saw so clearly the faces of people I have loved who are no longer living. But they were not ghosts or spirits - they were more real than I was. I felt their joy and peace. And I heard them whisper softly, 'don't worry about us, we are home. And everyone's waiting for you'.

What if we have got it the wrong way round? What if the real life starts on the other side. I believe that is the truth. I believe in a time when all the messy confusion of this world will be untangled and made beautiful. I believe in Heaven.

lyrics

I know you think it must be dark and cold where I am
Hidden from the shining sun
But I’m the one who wishes you could feel what I feel
To know you finally made it home

The light here is warmer
Than my soul will ever comprehend
But the joy is in the trying
And who knows what’s in store
When each day is brighter than before
Do you know that it is true:
Everyone’s waiting for you

I know you know that what you see can’t last forever
That everything must pass away
But for a moment just imagine how things could be
Without the darkness and decay

The air here is clearer
Than my soul will ever comprehend
But the joy is in the trying
And who knows what’s in store
When each day is brighter than before
Do you know that it is true:
Everyone’s waiting for you

And can’t you see the signs that whisper all around you
That life is made to be renewed
The flower that dies knows it will bloom again in spring time
Deep inside you know it’s true

You’ve waited a long time
It’s so hard to leave it all behind
But if you could see the glory...
There’s no pain and no shame
And you’ll laugh and never weep again
Are you ready to be new?
Everyone’s waiting for you
