I
want to give one last farewell
There
are so many little things
That
I just long to tell.
So
if from heaven's portal gate
You're
given one more fleeting glance
To
look upon my lonely heart
Please
give me one more chance.
Remember
when we pledged our troth
When
virgin love burst forth in bloom?
Our
hearts began to beat as one
Each
evening, morning, noon.
Then
hand-in-hand we walked life's road
We
built our castle strong and true
Where
happy children learned to grow
And
trust our blessed Savior, too.
Then
time began to speed its course
The
nest was empty once again
We
used our gifts to serve the Lord
For
He had promised great reward.
But
since you left my aching heart
Your
touch of love is felt no more
So
I must tread life all alone
Until
we meet on yonder Shore.
So
tell me dearest, if you can
Since
there's a mansion just for you
Could
I stop by your open door
For
just a glance or two?
Life's
comfort would sustain me then
While
you wait there for me
And
when death's angel calls me Home
We'll
share eternity.
B.
