Questions Answered

My list grew long as my years went fast
So many questions – present, future, past
I’ve waited so long to quench my thirst
The mystery of life woven into verse

We’re all connected by more than fate
The ripple effect can be small or great
God is the master and designer of this plan
He saved me a seat to see firsthand

I open up my eyes
And can’t believe what I behold
This beautiful life coming to a close
I thank God with every breath
For I know Jesus conquered death
As I lie here fragile like a rose
My faith is strong yet I don’t have very long
And I wonder
Will my questions still be answered

I feel Him near
Can you see Him here
Don’t cry for me
My time draw near
God is the answer
To all my fears
You see me here
Relaxed and calm
Your loving hand
Within my palm
I am so ready, so ready to go
I see more colors than you could know
I feel Him here, guiding me home
Love surrounds me from within my soul

I open up my eyes
And can’t believe what I behold
I’m walking on Heaven’s streets of gold
Then the angel takes my hand
And she leads me to Your throne
As the choir sings “Child, welcome home!”
You wipe my tears away
And with a gentle smile you say
“You have questions needing answers”
“All of your questions will be answered”

My earthly journey has come to an end
Now it all makes perfect sense
So don’t worry over me
I’ll see you in eternity
All of my questions have been answered
