"If You Could See Me Now"
If you could see me now, you wouldn't shed a tear, though you may not understand why I'm no longer there. Remember my spirit that is the real me, because I'm still very much alive, I've just been set free, Oh, if you could only see! I have beheld our Father's face & I've touched my Savior's hand. All of Heaven's angels rejoiced as I entered the promised land. Beyond the gates of pearl I've walked on the golden streets. I've touched the walls of jasper & dipped my foot in the crystal sea. The beauty is beyond words & nothing could compare, I've even seen your mansion & someday I'll meet you there! Let Jesus be your guide because His Word will show you the way! So please don't cry, because we will meet again someday! -Patsy Stambaugh Deskins Quote
