Verge of Heaven
Journey to the Beyond: Embracing Life's Tapestry
Lyrics
Doctors came in
Doctors deliver news of cancer diagnosis.
Said there's cancer within
Confirmation of the presence of cancer.
I'm so sorry there isn't much we can do. Chemo could be tried
Medical options discussed; limited chances with chemo.
We'll put up a fight
A commitment to fight against the illness.
At the most you could live a month or two. We don't mean to make you cry,
Short life expectancy shared with empathy.
There's much to decide
Decision-making time and considerations.
Our sympathy we leave with you
Expressing sympathy as they exit.
As they stepped outside
Transition from the medical scene.
My life flashed before my eyes
Life flashing before the person's eyes.
Within moments my mind went straight to you
Thoughts immediately turning to a significant person.
I'm on the verge of heaven
Expressing a sense of nearing the afterlife.
I'm standing at the gates
Symbolic representation of standing at heaven's gates.
Soon I'll see the face of Jesus Oh I can hardly wait.
Anticipation of seeing Jesus soon.
To behold God the Father Whose throne flows a crystal sea I'm on the verge of heaven
Imagining God the Father and His divine surroundings.
Don't be sorry for me
Asking others not to feel sorry for the speaker.
To this family of mine
Expressing gratitude for the speaker's family.
Precious memories abide
Cherished memories associated with the family.
My life has been so rich because of you
A rich life attributed to the family's influence.
And if I've done my job right
Hope for the family's future path.
A path in life you'll find
Acknowledgment of personal shortcomings.
Even though you've seen me stumble a time or two And in the middle of the night
Assurance in times of difficulty.
When life doesn't seem right
Seeking divine intervention in challenging moments.
Let them call, Lord let 'em call, call on you
Encouraging others to seek help from the Lord.
And when their time comes to an end
Reflection on the inevitability of life's end.
Let them remember again
Encouraging others to remember divine help.
Lord just how you brought me through
Reflecting on divine assistance in tough times.
'Cause I'm on the verge of heaven I'm standing at the gates
Reiteration of being close to heavenly realms.
Soon I'll see the face of Jesus Oh I can hardly wait.
Excitement about seeing Jesus soon.
To behold God the Father Whose throne flows a crystal sea I'm on the verge of heaven
Revisiting the imagery of divine presence.
Don't sorry for me
Requesting others not to pity the speaker.
Don't be afraid step into faith, There's a place prepared you.
Encouraging others to have faith and not fear.
You won't leave the same Call on his name
Assurance of transformation through faith.
There's nothing He can't do
Emphasizing the limitless capabilities of God.
If you're hurting, broken, down and hopeless He's closer than a friend
God's closeness in times of despair.
This life's not the end
Belief in an afterlife beyond earthly existence.
'Cause we're on the verge of heaven We're standing at the gates
Collective anticipation of nearing heaven.
Soon we'll see the face of Jesus
Anticipation of encountering Jesus collectively.
Oh I can hardly wait
Eager expectation of heavenly sights.
To Behold the Father
Imagery of the majestic Father in heaven.
Whose throne flows a crystal sea I'm on the verge of heaven
Reiteration of being close to heavenly realms.
Don't be sorry for me
Requesting others not to feel sorry for the speaker.
Jesus is calling
Mention of Jesus reaching out.
Don't be sorry for me
Requesting others not to feel sorry for the speaker in light of spiritual connection.
