Carried by the Angels

Escorted in such splendor
If you could only see
The beauty and the majesty
As ANGELS carried Me

Far beyond
the life I knew
Secure in their embrace
MY journey was prelude
To the GLORY of this place

Welcomed by rejoicing
No tears are ever found
GOD himself wipes them away
And ANGEL'S songs abound

Eternal gates were opened
PEACE met me there inside
I rejoice now with the ANGELS
In HEAVEN I abide
