Gentleman

 On the other side we will finally be home 

God yearns for His kids to be near

We don’t understand but can’t question His Hand

Why we tarry while temporarily here

One of these days when Ray gets to Glory 

He will see what all of this means 

Blood, sweat, and pain will never surface again 

He’ll see (and be) Kings reunited with Queens

Sometimes it shines here and sometimes it pours 

But the Lord is always at Hand 

Death looks like life’s master and may mimic disaster 

Until we’re warmly welcomed in His wonderful land 

Everything changes from down here on Earth

Where there’s heartache and sickness and strife 

Lorna is there, loved ones everywhere 

Rewards of a fruit-filled, long life

Suddenly Jesus appears on the scene

Even angels hush to hear

He scoops up Ray as He’s done every day

Holds him close and whispers into his ear

“Ray I’ve been with you throughout your walk

And We’ve been through some interesting times

You’ve shown yourself faithful and for that I’m grateful

Let me show you what I now have in mind!”

Jesus our Brother and Saviour and Lord 

Escorts Ray to his new work and mansion

He has always been true, always had work to do

In the business of Heaven expansion.

Matthew 25:23

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
