Don’t weep for me for cause I’m not alone,
I’m here with Jesus beside
His throne.
I am not cold or asleep.
Thre are so many new people here in heaven to meet.
I love you and miss you and know you grieve for me,
But I’m here, waiting for you, one day soon,
reunited we will be.
We will soon be together forever, Jesus is making the plans.
He is coming to bring you home, to this beautiful land.
No tears, no sorrow, no pain is allowed in this heavenly home.
The blind can see, the deaf can hear, the crippled have
new legs to roam.
No sadness exists
in this city so fair,
No tears ever form
in this land over here.
So, don’t ever say good-bye
Just see you soon,
here beyond the sky.
You see, I’m happier than I’ve ever been, since entering heaven’s gates,
I miss you so much but for you, I will patiently wait.
We will never be separated again, together for eternity,
So be happy when you think of me,
Please don’t for me grieve.
