If I Had Wings Like An Eagle, I’d Soar Up In The Sky.
I’d Fly Above The Clouds And Stars And Planets, Oh, So High.
I’d Fly All The Way To Heaven, And Stand Right Before The Gates.
And I’d Ask The Angels, “May I Come In? My Burden Is So Great”!
I Need To See My Father, And Jesus, Please, Open Up The Gates.
I Have So Many Questions, And I Just Cannot Wait.
I Flew All This Way To See Them, I’m Tired And I’m Cold.
I Have To Have The Answers Now; I Can’t Wait Until I’m Old.
They’d Open Up The Gates And Say, “Just Follow As We Lead,
We Heard That You Were Coming, And It’s Answers That You Need.”
Just Then I’d Get This Feeling, I’d Tremble And I’d Shake.
The Glory Knocked Me To The Ground; I Passed Out And Couldn’t Wake.
Suddenly, The Angels, They Carried Me Right There.
And Laid Me At The Throne Of God, Prostrate And Very Scared.
Then I Heard A Choir, About Ten Thousand Strong.
They Sang, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Is The Lamb Upon The Throne”.
And Then That Awesome Moment When I Could Not Believe My Eyes.
Upon The Throne Were Father God And Jesus By His Side.
Jesus Smiled When He Saw Me; He Gave Me A Big Hug.
He Welcomed Me, And Said To Me, “We’re Glad That You Could Come”.
I Knelt Down Right Before Him, Humbled And So Weak.
He Said, “I Know You Have Some Questions: I Have The Answers That You Seek”.
Why Is The Earth So Evil, Lord? Why Do Babies Die?
Why Do You Allow, All My Friends To Cry?
Why Do People Suffer? Why Is Cancer All We Hear?
Why Are People Starving? And AIDS Is What We Fear.
Why Are All The Teens, Taking Drugs And Getting High?
And Then There Are Their Moms And Dads And All They Do Is Cry.
The Internet Is Home To Pornography And Such,
Why Are There Those Evil Men, Whom Children They Abduct?
Jesus Took My Hand And Pointed To The Right,
He Said, “ Look Over There And See, The Room Without The Light.
It’s Where I Do My Crying, And Weeping Year To Year.
Do You See All Those Bottles? I’m Saving All Their Tears.”
I Looked And There Before Me, Were Bottles Piled High.
This Room Was Big As Texas And Reached Unto The Sky.
He Said,” My Dear, Dear Child, Fly Back And Tell Them This:
I Knew It All Before They’re Born, Not One Thing Have I Missed.
Tell Them That I Love Them, So Much They Can’t Conceive.
Tell Them That I Know Of, All The Things They Need.
Tell Them That I Died, Shed My Blood For Them And Won.
So They Could Be Forgiven, No Matter What They’ve Done.
Tell Them Just To Ask Me, To Come Into Their Heart.
I’ll Live With Them Forever – No End – We’ll Never Part.
Tell Them That I Have, A Plan For Them, That’s Good.
I Will Never Harm Them; They’ll Prosper, As They Should.
Tell Them That The Trials, And Pain That They Go Through.
Are To Change Their Character, And Attitudes, It’s True.
The Trials That You Go Through Are Your Ministry, You See.
If Others Go Through Them Like You, Compassion Is The Key.
Tell Them That Compassion Is What I’m All About.
If Selfishness And Greed Abound, How Can You Help Them Out?
Tell Them That The Questions, That You Have Asked Today.
Could Have Been Avoided, If They All Walked In My Way.
My Ways Are Not The Same As Yours; It’s Hard To Understand.
Just Trust Me And Believe In Me, I’ll Hold You In My Hand.
There’s Nothing That’s Too Hard, That I Can’t Do For You.
Just Call To Me And Ask Me, And I Will Help You Through.
There’s Just This One Thing That I Wish, All Of You Would Get.
Love Your Neighbor As Yourselves, Forgive Them And Forget.
The Devil Is A Liar; He Rules The Earth Down There.
But Soon I’ll Come And Get You, No More Burdens Will You Bear”.
And Then He Said, “Go Back Now, And Tell Them All You Heard”.
We Kissed And Hugged And Then I Heard, Him Say These Last Few Words:
“Fly, My Precious Child, Like An Eagle You Will Soar.
Just Do My Will And Don’t You Fear, Your Hope Is In The Lord.”
