In heaven shines my Saviour's light <br />Just like a star within the night, <br />That twinkles in the endless sky <br />A sign to all the souls who die, <br />A place where streams and fountains flow <br />Where blossoms bloom and flowers grow, <br />And I shall feel his loving care <br />When God my father calls me there. <br /> <br />When age does end my weary days <br />I'll leave behind my earthly ways, <br />And head towards that home above <br />So filled with deep and reverent love, <br />I shall rejoice and dance with glee <br />To know my King has welcomed me, <br />Then I shall bow my head in prayer <br />When God my father calls me there. <br /> <br />I'll meet again my friends at last <br />Who through my life had sadly passed, <br />I'll cast away all thoughts of fear <br />Then I shall sing with grateful cheer, <br />For I will feel the hand of grace <br />Within that vast and holy place, <br />And everlasting peace I'll share <br />When God my father calls me there. <br /> <br /> <br />Andrew Blakemore 2009<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-god-my-father-calls-me-there/
