Stairway in the sky

orchidee



Based on poem 'On the Wings of Eagles by w c.

Tune: All for Jesus

('Holy Spirit, come confirm us')

**********

On a stairway there in the sky

Puffy clouds float closely by

And I do see angels too there

Escorting souls up the stairs

 

St Peter awaits by the gate

Immanuel also waits

To see us when our day has come

E'er we with [Him] our loving one

 

On eagle's wings we will sure fly

Fore'er with a rainbow high

Thankful now that the rain has gone

And for light that shines upon [us]

 

And when we think the sun will set

There'll be light that never quits

And in the light there will then be

Our dear friends and families

 

And so there on the mountain peak

We will live lives blissfully

Having from Christ all that we need

Satisfied eternally

            Thanks Gold. They seemed to be messing about before they started. Why not record things from when all is ready, not when faffing about?!
