With God

The Lord Is With You Wherever You Go.

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

with tiny lights, like heaven's stars; reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away the tear

For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,

For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me; I see the pain inside your heart,

But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.

So be happy for me, you know I hold you dear,

And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above,

I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold,

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,

For I can't count the blessing or love he has for you.

So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear,

Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

STREETS OF HEAVEN

Hello God, its me again. 2:00 a.m., Room 304. Visiting hours are over, time for the bedside tug of war. This sleeping child between us may not make it through the night. Im fighting back the tears as he fights for his life.

Well, it must be kind of crowded on the streets of Heaven. So tell me, what do you need him for? Dont you know one day hell be your little boy forever?, but right now I need him so much more.

Hes much too young to be on his own: Barely just turned seventeen. So who will hold his hand when he crosses the streets of Heaven?

Tell me God, do you remember the wishes that he made, as he blew out the candles on his last birthday cake? He wants a ride on a pony, when hes big enough. He wants to marry his Mommy when he's all grown up.

Well, it must be kind of crowded on the streets of Heaven. So tell me, what do you need him for? Dont you know one day hell be your little boy forever? But right now I need him so much more. Hes much too young to be on his own.

Barely just turned seventeen. So who will hold his hand when he crosses the streets of Heaven?

Dont you know hes my angel ?

Youve got plenty of your own.

And I know you hold a place for him, but hes already got a home.

Well, I dont know if youre listening but praying is all thats left to do, so I ask you Lord to have mercy, you lost a son once too and it must be kind of crowded on the streets of Heaven.

So tell me, what do you need him for? Dont you know one day hell be your little boy forever, But right now I need him so much more.

Lord, I know once you've made up your mind, theres no use in begging. So if you take him with you today, will you make sure he looks both ways and would you hold his hand when he crosses the streets of Heaven......

The Streets Of Heaven.

I love you Cory Dale
