Mike Jones 1960 - 2001 coolman_4_u "Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what life is all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who do not live long enough to get the opportunity ... live each day to it's fullest ..." What would you do if every time you fell in love ... you had to say goodbye? What would you do if every time you wanted someone ... they would never be there? What would you do if your bestfriend died tomorrow ... and you never got to tell them how you felt? What would you do if you loved someone more than ever ... and you couldn't have them? Some people love, and some people die. But I want to tell you I love you ... and you are a true friend. If I died tomorrow you would be in my heart. Would I be in yours? To the world you may be one person ... but to one person you are the world ... Tomorrow When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you." Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand And share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
How God Is Near I will not fear Though all my dreams Come shattering down around my feet, For God is near. I will hold on To Him Who helps me Rise above life's stormy sea. I'll trust His grace To keep me in my darkest hour. I will not fear, For God is near. I see a light ~ A wondrous, bright and shining light That lights my way To see the path ahead. This light of love and grace Just seems to cover me. I know no fear, For God is near. Shirley W. Langley Fear thou not for I am with thee; be not dismayed for I am thy God . . . Is. 41:10
