And when the good L-rd comes

And when the good L-rd comes to take me away
Wrapping me in His gentle white wings of holiness
And He leans close to whisper in my ear
Asking me if I drank of His goodness while on His blessed earth
I shall smile and whisper,
"I greeted every man as your son and messenger
Searching his face for the message he brought from the King
I gazed upon every child
Seeing the glow that surrounds one so recently in Your presence
And when You painted the sky at sunset with the brush of creation
I stopped to praise Your handiwork
Laughing as the clouds danced their shadows across the hills
Neither did I forget to treasure my tears
Sent to ease my pain and water my dreams
Yes, my Lord,
I tipped back my cup and drank of every moment
Shouting out a toast to Your greatness
Until the final sweet drop slid through my thirsty lips"
