When I saw the light

I didn’t know what to do

Should I stop and turn around

or should I go on through

The Lord he came knocking

to come take me away

But I had to ask him

Oh good Lord can I stay.

There are things here on earth

that I still need to do

If anyone can understand this

I am sure that it is you.

So please let me stay here

because I want to see

my children grow up

and spend more time with me.

But if I had taken that journey

and followed you through the light

I know in my heart the joy I’d feel

to finally feel so right.

I would be able

to see my folks again

My brother he’d be there too

and we’d all be free of pain.

So next time when I see that light

and death is at my door

what choice should I take

How can I ever be sure.
