IT WONT BE LONG

It Wont Be Long 

The house where I was razed  
The little window where the sun  
Came peeping in at morn;  
And a overflowing love of my  
Grandmother sing her song to  
Jehovah our God , 
She always started our day off  
With a kiss , and a word of prayer  
She never had a bad word to say , 
Her love for Jehovah God kept her 
Strong , but now she is gone , 
I often wish the night would play  
Her songs of prays , 
I remember when she would tell me  
To always start my days of with a kiss 
Of prays to our God , 
Look out the window and see the beauty 
Of the land , 
The roses red and white,  
The violets and the lily cups that gives out 
There love , those flowers made of light!  
With Jehovah in sight , 
The tree is rooted deep like you and I , 
Our faith must run like the Mediterranean Sea 
To live this life is like a race , 
Never take your eyes of of the love of Jehovah's grace, 
Always be rejoicing and give all you got in your  
Heart to the maker of it  , 
Greet all your brothers and sisters with a holy kiss , 
When you hear the words  of ''Peace and Security '' 
From world wide , 
Hang on because it will be soon Jehovah will come  
And bring us home , 
To swallows up the darkness ,  
And his love will shine on , 
My spirit flew in my grandmothers hand with much love, 
I remember the fir-trees dark and high;  
I used to think their slender tops  
Were close against the sky:  
I would be so enthused by the make of the land , 
To know I'm farther off from Heaven , 
But I know Jehovah is where my heart belongs , 
I cry out in my grandmothers song ,  
Keep holding on and it wont belong  
Jehovah will take us home .
