I passed by a grave today
I bowed my head to pray
“I sure hope they knew Your love
Before their life was done.”
I don’t expect a big ole’ plot
I’d prefer they place a cross
I pray I carried it well
And pulled a many from Hell.
Perhaps there are many that might come
To pay their respects with sweet love
But I’d rather you listen close now
So I’ll see you in Heavens dear cloud.
A good person, see, I could never be
For all I am Christ has given me
And when it is time to lie down
I hope there’s nothing left but His crown.
Remember me when you speak His name
Of the love I shared and His precious ways
Oh, let me tell you how you can live
With Heaven as Home with Him.
Reminisce of His faithful heart
And how He helped me with my own scars
Sometimes it was ugly indeed
Yet, His blood washed me forever clean.
I pray you’ll talk about how
It seemed I was different somehow
For my former self died one day
I tried to learn to die every day.
I’d like to be known just as “kind”
For Christ has the gentlest eyes
And I’ve found the louder one screams
Rarely, does it draw Him sheep.
Feel free to talk of my pains
How there were times I made huge mistakes
But Jesus would pour mercy and grace
And pick me back up for the race.
When I’m gone it will be then too late
For me to tell you how I was saved
In short, I received His gift of grace
And in Me He came to live and stay.
I gave Him my life in exchange
For the death He suffered in shame
For my sin did open His grave
But He died to again be raised.
He took a little girl with no name
Adopted her and called her to reign
We sailed to adventurous days
Where joy was in His sweet embrace.
I didn’t even know how to “be”
I simply heard, “Come, follow me.”
And my nets I dropped very quickly
When I’m gone, please remember these things.
And if I should die before I wake
Don’t worry, it’ll be no mistake
For I will have finished my race
And I’ll be with my Jesus face to face.
