Just like a beautiful, long-stemmed rose,
Her precious memory grows and grows…
Touching the hearts of all those she loved.
And like the fragrance of that same rose,
Her love, so sweet, still flows and flows…
Filling our lives with a warmth that show's she's there.
So like a forever-blooming rose,
The beauty she shared eternally glows…
For deep in our hearts, each of us knows she lives!
Don't mourn for me because I'm gone
Because I am hearing all kinds of songs with different tones.
I came one morning to my new home at dawn,
Oh how I wish you could see my new home.
I wish I had the time to call you on the phone
To let you know that Jesus took me home where I belong.
Jesus took me in His arms, Embraced me with His loving Charm.
He promised I would see no more harm
And said I should never be alarmed.
I wish everyone could see how Jesus is taking care of me.
The angels are taking me over the golden street
To see my Father which I will meet.
Oh what a beautiful treat, for everyone is bowing at Jesus' feet.
Jesus is so meek, as I started getting over the sudden shock,
I began to see whom I could seek
As I looked around to see who I could see…
There is Mother, PaPa, Mamaw, Little Ted & Larry,
Billy & Vickie waving at me.
Oh what joy is was for me, for God to give me that sight to see.
So don't mourn for me, just tell everyone you see about Jesus and me.
So Jesus took me in His own sweet time,
He's waiting and watching for you to follow me on that straight line.
So tell everyone to come see me in Heaven at that Great Jubilee.
Goodbye Puddin-Tang,
We Love You!
