 The Table

The Table

They are here to greet me up in Paradise
Moses and Saint Peter and then there's Jesus Christ
They're waiting here to hug me and kiss me on the cheek
Their smiling faces show me that I am truly free

I hear the angels singing joyous songs of peace
As they prepare the table of the joyous feast
We gather around the table; a table built of gold
We take each others hand; can't believe whose hand I hold

Sitting to my left, and much to my surprise
Is my Uncle Bill with tears in his eyes
He holds my hand so tight and whispers in my ear
“I'm so glad you made it; I knew you'd soon be here”

Across the table from me is the Savior of us all
He tells us of the story how sin and death did fall
Because we had the faith in things we couldn't see
The Holy Spirit saved us by setting our souls free

He said before we eat let's say a prayer of grace
That is when our Holy Father showed His glorious face
We closed our eyes real tight and sang a song of praise
Then Jesus said “Thank you for our brother's soul's been raised”

We all said Amen; then began to celebrate
I couldn't believe this feeling; it was worth the wait
While sitting at this table with every single Saint
I noticed right in front of me a glass of pink champagne

We held our glasses high as Jesus gave a speech
“We all are excited for Heaven you did reach
So together with The Father and The Holy Ghost
We raise our glasses high and to you we give a toast”

“Welcome our new brother to the land of God
Your sins have been forgiven; your soul it has been bought
You have finally made it; never gave up the fight
Welcome our new brother; your home's now Paradise
