THIS IS A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF DONNIE,
If you could see where I have gone
the beauty of this place ..
And how it feels to know you're home
to see the Savior's face.
To wake in peace and know no fear
just joy beyond compare ..
While still on earth you miss me yet
you wouldn't want me there.
If you could see where I have gone
had made the trip with me ..
You'd know I didn't go alone
the Savior came with me.
When I awoke, He was by my side
and reached down His hand ..
Said, "Hurry, you're going home
to a grand and glorious land."
Don't worry over those you love
for I'm not just with you ..
And don't you know when you're with me
they'll long to be here, too?"
If you could see where I have gone
and see what I've been shown ..
You'd never know another fear
or ever feel alone.
