When God Comes and Gathers His Jewels
Heaven's Harvest: Love Beyond Goodbye
Lyrics
When the ceremony was over
After the ceremony concluded
A lad stood alone in tears
A young man stood alone, crying
For he had just said goodbye
He had just bid farewell
To the one he had loved through the years
To the person he had loved throughout the years
He stood all alone with his head bowed down
Standing by himself, head bowed down
As though his heart would break
As if his heart were about to break
The parson came over and took his hand
The clergyman approached, took his hand
And to him these words he did say
And spoke these words to him
When God comes and gathers his jewels
When God comes to gather his chosen ones
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
Collecting all his valuable possessions
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
You will reunite with her in the heavenly realm
When God comes and gathers his jewels
When God comes to gather his chosen ones
Every night when the pale moon is shining
Each night, under the pale moonlight
You can see this lad all alone
You can observe this young man, always alone
With his eyes lifted up toward heaven
With his gaze directed towards the heavens
He's repeating these words he was told
He repeats the words he was told
When God comes and gathers his jewels
When God comes to gather his chosen ones
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
Collecting all his valuable possessions
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
You will reunite with her in the heavenly realm
When God comes and gathers his jewels
When God comes to gather his chosen ones
