No Tears In Heaven

There are no tears in Heaven
Nor grief of any kind

I leave this final teardrop to those I’ve left behind

Though absent from the body I’m present in the Lord

The joy of my salvation is my full reward
And just as God has promised
He’s wiped my tears away

And nothing can compare to the wonder of that day

So keep me in your memory and know that up above

There are no tears in Heaven, instead there’s only love.

If Roses Grow In Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my grandmother’s arms
and tell her they’re from me
Tell her that I love and miss her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while
Because remembering her is easy

I do it everyday

But there is an ache within my heart

That will never go away.
