Come fly with me beyond today
On pretty wings of flight,
Our spirits lifted to the sky
Where the sun is warm and bright.

There we shall soar with wonder
In blue skies, come what may,
On wings so light and carefree
To carry us away.

No matter then, the waves of grief
They cannot weigh us down,
We know true joy within
For heaven's love is found.

We may not leave our sorrows
Nor burdens that we bear,
But God's abiding love and peace
Upholds our every care.

Cold winds encircle, dark clouds pour
On days that we may mourn,
But safe within the cross
We're sheltered in the storm.

A lightness deep within our spirit
For in the grace of God we stand,
He holds our every moment
Within His loving hand.

No heartaches grip tomorrow
Our struggles calmly cease,
The miracle of life has come
We fly on wings of peace.

Lovely wrappings sheath
the gift of one-day-more;
breathless, I untie the
package, never lived
this day before!
