I'll be there

God will send an angel at the moment he designed
To tell me that my time has come to leave this world behind
I know I'll glance behind me as I climb that golden stair
For I love you all so deeply. Please know….I'll still be there.

I'll be there in the little things that make it all worthwhile
And I'll be there in the passing thought that makes my daughter smile
In all those times she'll talk of me and wipe away a tear
That's when she'll feel my presence…Oh you know that I'll be there

I'll be there in my son's sweet laugh as he fondly thinks of me
And in the stories that he tells, in each sweet memory
I'll be there when he pauses to remember me in prayer
He'll feel a kindred presence then…and know that I've been there.

I'll be there as my grandsons grow; I'll be there every day.
I'll be their guardian angel, watching over them as they play
When they graduate and marry, promise me you'll save a chair
Though you think that it sits empty, oh…I promise I'll be there.

I'll be there when my friends still meet, though they're minus one
They'll hear my echoed laughter, when they're out there having fun
When they are sad and lonely and they have some pain to share
Let them feel peace and not know why...it's because I have been there

To my extended family, Know I love you all so much
I'll be there in the evening rain and in the suns warm touch
I'll never be that far way, I'll be with you, I swear.
Just think of me, and there I am, one wish, and I'll be there

To all of you, it's not goodbye, please wipe those tears away
I'll be with my sweet Jesus and I'll praise him every day
Someday you'll each cross over, no more burdens left to bear
Look for me beside my Savior, .......You know... I will be there.
