I was still aware of those around meI could hear their cries and sense their griefBut was physically incapableOf responding to them in any wayThere was surprisingly no sensation of deathBut without doubt, I knew I was dyingAs my spirit and body naturallyAnd without effort began to separateAn entirely new dimension of reality unfoldedLike the slow opening of a rare flowerCelestial mysteries were revealed from beyondThe atmosphere was permeatedWith the healing melody of an invisible choirAnd I knew I had entered the domain of the living GodMy eyes beheld a vast concourse of souls from every nationDressed in the spotless garments of the redeemedWith a loud voice they echoed praises to their KingI saw a mighty throne around which was seatedFour and twenty elders with crowns of gloryAnd like the sound of rushing waters they began to singHoly, holy, holyThey sangHoly, holy, holyI heard them sayHoly, holy, holy is the LordThey saidHoly, holy, holyHoly, holy, holyHoly, holy, holy is LordThe whole principle of living was differentFood and water wasn't needed to sustain lifeThere was no mental agony, tearsSource of tears or any physical painLight did not come from one source like the sunBut God's glory illuminated everythingSo shadows did not exist, neither did elemental changesLike snow, storms or even rainThen, in all of it's pristine graduer, I saw the Holy CitySuspended like a cube at the expanse of eternityFifteen hundred miles high and just as deep as it was wideIndescribable colors were refracting everywhereFrom the precious stones it was made ofWith twelve angels guarding the gatesFashioned from one solid pearl on each sideThen, from behind me, I could sense the presenceOf one whose virtue shot through the very fibers of my beingAs I slowly turned, a glorious radiance consumed my eyesHis silhouette was backdropped by the immense sea of glassAnd for the very first timeMy eyes beheld one altogether lovelyThe Lily of the Valley, the Fairest of Ten ThousandsMy Lord, my Saviour Jesus ChristI threw up my hands and criedHoly, holy, holyHoly, holy, holyHoly, holy, holy is the LordMy soul saidHoly, holy, holyHoly, holy, holyHoly, holy, holy is the LordHis eyes were filled with tendernessEncouragement, strength and loveHis countenance proclaimed He knew everythingThere was to know or ever worth knowingBeing with Him was to have everything I ever wantedBe everything I ever imaginedAnd arrive at everywhere I only dreamed of goingThen the same Voice that spoke the worlds into existenceSpoke my name in affectionate tonesHe said, My beloved child, there are those left behindWho are deeply grieved at your deathThey've prayed I return you to your earthly lifeAnd because of their faithfulness to MeI am willing to grant their requestI said, Lord, if my loved ones only knewThe limitless wonders of HeavenIf they could steal but one brief glimpse of gloryI know what they would doBecause they loved me, they'd never askThat I return to the confines of my human bodyLord, I can't go back, please let me stay with YouFor You are the resurrection of the lifeThe Son of the Living GodYou're the only one worthy of honorAnd glory and power and praiseMaster, only You make all things newFor You alone are Lord and God, Saviour and KingAnd forever and ever, throughout all eternityI'll join the hosts of heavenAs they praise You day, after day, after day singingLord of all the EarthForever He shall reignLord of glory, lamb of GodAnd holy is His nameMy soul saysLord of all the EarthForever He shall reignLord of glory, lamb of GodAnd holy is His nameAnd holy is His name
