A year has passed and still you grieve,
The tears flow down your face;
You miss his voice, you miss his laugh,
No one can take his place.
But when you think of where he is,
In Heaven's land so fair;
You know you're weeping for yourself,
'Cause there's no weeping there.



His closest friend is Jesus
And He takes him by the hand,
He talks with him for hours
As they walk in Heaven's land.
There's light once more within his eyes,
His smile is always near;
So cry your tears while you're down there,
'Cause there's no crying here.



Here is where he's happiest,
Here's where he belongs;
He's praising God with every breath
And joining in the songs.
A joyful glow is on his face
And wonder fills his eyes;
So let your tears flow if you must,
'Cause here, nobody cries.



He has a mansion that is grand,
And friends that he can't number;
Eternal celebrating
In this land where there's no slumber.
And he shines brighter than the stars,
And angels seek his face;
So grieve and miss him while you may,
There's no grief in this place.



If he could speak to you once more,
One thought he would repeat:
That now, his happiness is full,
That now, his joy's complete;
That Christ will be returning soon
And all creation waits,
He'll wipe the tears from every eye
Just inside Heaven's gates.



One day you'll be together, Yes!
And that day time can't sever;
There'll be no death or parting then
In that Blessed Forever.
You'll see him anytime you wish,
What joy your hearts will reap!
So cry your eyes out while on earth,
It's your last chance to weep.
"And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away."
(Revelation 21:4 KJV)

When I must leave you for a little while,
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
