The Bells Rung in Heaven
The bells rung in heaven
The Lord called Martha to His side,
“I want you to go to the Pearly Gates and welcome the child inside.”
A young lady not quite fully grown,
But I believe you’ll recognize her as one of your own.
Her time on earth is over
And eternity to begin as your granddaughter and eternal friend,
I know heartbreak looms for you who are left behind
But take comfort from this thought and you’ll find
That Jesus can give you the peace and fill the void inside
And rest assured with Mama now abides.
She’s not alone n heaven, for Mama went ahead and
Jesus has prepared a place at the table spread.
Mama is at the table with Laura by her side,
Jesus is at the head---waiting for his bride.
I see Mama’s hand cover Laura’s with such love
And with a smile she tells her what joy is there above.
Mama waves her hand at the vastness you’ll see
And all the empty places waiting for her family.
She pointed to each seat and read the new name there
And Laura understood who was to sit where.
I know there’s much sadness on earth, but eternal, it is naught---
For peace and joy is coming if the battle is fought.
We all must be ready for the trip that we’ll all take,
For the right decision on this earth we must truly make.
At the pearly gates, we know who’ll be waiting for his
Bride—there we’ll see Jesus---Mama---and Laura at her side.
