7. Heaven

Your Face in front of me
I fall down to my knees
You lift me up and lead me on
My guilt and sin are gone

Streets of gold
No more pain
Great wonders to behold
Awesome marvels to gain

The choirs of angels singing loud
The creatures around Your throne, humbly bowed
The saints loudly declaring You name
For You are awesome and marvelous and worthy of praise

Emerald and jasper grace Your throne
A rainbow is Your crown
How great and awesome is Your name
I will proclaim it throughout all the world!

You were the one to break the seal
And loudly trumpets blast
And all the people will feel
The marvelous wonder of Your glory at last!

The time I’ve waited was so long
To spend eternity with You
And now I’m here and, oh, the wonders are so great
How marvelous the view!

Streets of gold
Sea of glass
Angels sing
As Your light shines on my face

37. Eyes

Brown spheres
Stare into mine
What beauty I see
What beauty divine

In your eyes
I see your dreams
Your goals, your fears
Your very being

What do you see?
Looking into mine
Do you see what you mean to me?
Do you see how I love you?

The window to your soul
Stares into mine
There is no escape
No way out of here

But I’d rather be here
Than anywhere else
Time stops
Hearts soar

Hold me close
Don’t let me go
Let time stand still
For an hour or so

But if time is stopped
Then how will we know
When the hour is gone?

So, hold me close
Don’t let me go
Let time stand still
As you stare into
My eyes

Your dreams
Your goals
Your fears
Here they are so real

Let me linger
In your eyes
Let me read into your life
Share with me your deepest secrets
Not with your voice
But with your eyes

30. Under the Rain

Walking down the street
Hand in hand
It started to rain

You stopped
You turned to me
Held me close
And abruptly said
You had to go
And leave me alone

I asked how long
You would be gone

Forever was your reply
You weren’t coming back
I’d have to get used to life
Without you
I’d have to do it by myself
No hand to hold

As I started to cry
You said goodbye
You kissed me once
Long and sweet
And let go of my hand

I tried to hold on
But you got away
And walked down the street

I stood there under the light
Tears and rain streamed down my face
I was wet and cold

You left me standing
All alone
With no hope
Under the rain
