Come Walk With Me
Myrtle Poor (c)
God's Spirit can show you many things,
If we let the inner man come through.
He took me on a trip today.
I'd like to share that trip with you.
We walk down a path lined with flowers.
There were some of every kind.
It was the Garden Of Eden,
For such peace there did abide.
A little lamb lay beside a big loin.
The lion was meek as any could be.
All vicious animals living there,
Lived in perfect harmony.
The beauty was more than my eyes could behold.
The pathway to Heaven was made from pure gold.
When I reached The Golden Gate,
I was no longer alone.
A nailed scared hand reached out touched me,
And a voice said, "My child welcome home
You've fought a good fight; your race is won.
Come see what's in store for you."
The boulevard was totally transparent
And sparkling like shining blue ice.
The mansion that stood in the middle
Was the largest I had seen in my life.
Above the door a large sign stated,
"This is MY FATHER'S HOUSE,
Inside are many mansions,
Come and check them all out.
From earth with all of its trouble and strife,
I saw people come up to the river of life.
They were troubled, sick and in pain,
But when they crossed the river, they changed.
Setting beneath, the Tree of Life there
Were my loved one, who had gone on before
Their faces were smiling and happy,
They had come to this heavenly shore.
I asked Jesus if I could see God, now,
But He told me that I've to wait
For God is busy checking He records,
To see whose name He'd call on this date.
I saw the Throne of Mercy
As angels were fluttering about.
They were singing great songs of praises
Then thanking our God with a shout.
I started into my mansion,
But Jesus gently took hold of my hand,
"My child you cannot go in there
For your hour glass is still running sand.
Your mansion just isn't ready.
You're here only to see,
What God's children has in store
If they'll live only for me.
You simply must fo back now,
To that place of trouble and strife.
Go back and tell all my children
Everything you've seen here tonight.
