FOR YOU I WAIT

    

                    Now that

                    I am gone,

                    just

                    think of me.



                    I

                    am

                    alive

                    in your

                    memory.



                    For my

                    departure,

                    please

                    do not

                    grieve.



                    My

                    pains

                    and

                    sorrows

                    God

                    did

                    relieve.



                    I have been

                    reborn

                    into

                    eternal life.



                    No longer

                    do I

                    suffer

                    from any

                    strife.



                    Celebrate

                    my life,

                    do not

                    weep

                    or

                    cry.



                    I'm always

                    with you,

                    this is

                    not

                    goodbye.



                    Even

                    though

                    we are

                    apart,



                    You can

                    find me

                    in

                    your

                    heart.



                    I have

                    arrived,

                    but

                    for you

                    I wait.



                    Just look

                    for me at

                    Heaven's Gate.



                    From

                    earthly

                    cares

                    I have been

                    set free.



                    O'er Death,

                    I have

                    gained

                    the

                    victory!
