I’m In Church Now

The Worship’s In Full Zeal

Before You I Bow

Your Presence Is So Real

**

BH Is Walking To Hubby Dear

To Him He Starts Whispering

So Quietly I Cannot Hear

I Wonder Why They’re Murmuring

**

Hubby Dear Utters An Exclamation Brief

It Is So Loud Heads Are Turning

He Bows His Head In Enormous Grief

In My Heart I Feel A Burning

**

He Turns To Me His Eyes A-Dew

And Says, “I’m In Pain Today

For BH Gives Me Bad News –

Aunt Mary’s Just Passed Away”

**

What?? How Can That Be?

I Just Met Her A Few Days Ago

Are You Sure You’re Telling Me

That I Won’t See Her Anymore?

**

No, No, No, No , NO!

God, Now Bring Her Back

I Must Have The Status Quo

I Deny The Heart Attack!

**

She Promised To Make Us

Her Famous Min-Faan-Koh

She Cannot Have Gone Thus

Without Making That Pledge Secure

**

She Agreed To Teach Me

How To Make Chicken Floss

Generous And Tasty Is Her Recipe

Nutritious and Sumptuous Are All In The Toss

**

Min-Faan-Koh and Chicken Floss

Are Just But A Minor Loss

What I Am Most Yearning

Is Aunt Mary’s Unreserved Caring

**

Helpful, Thoughtful, Discerning And Loving

At All Times Was Aunt Mary

Cheerful, Supportive, Faithful And Giving

A Person Full Of Charity

**

God, Around Me People Are Worshiping

In Your Presence They Love To Bask

I Have Stopped My Singing

For I Have This To Ask

**

It Isn’t Fair That She Goes

‘Though We Get That We Mustn’t Be Greedy

But It’s True That Everyone Knows

How Very Much She’d Helped The Needy

**

She Is Required Here, LORD

Can’t You See?

She Is Grieved For, LORD

Why Must This Be?

**

Must All Good Things Be Momentary

Here To Day And Gone Tomorrow?

Are Our Lives Oh So Temporary

Everything Else Being One Big Hollow?

**

“Aunt Mary Did Her Duty

She Had Done It Well

It’s Not For You To Query

Those Questions You Now Must Quell

**

“I Have Custom-Made For You

A Job That’s Good And Just

So You Also Have Work To Do

Do It Well Is What You Must

**

“To You I’ve Given A Part

Just Like I Did Aunt Mary

Do It With All Your Heart

Of Aunt Mary, Don’t You Worry

**

“For I Have Plans For You

Which Are Much Bigger Than Death

Plans To Prosper You, It’s True

A Hope, A Future Is What I Bequeath

**

“Dry your Tears, Child, All Is Well

Aunt Mary’s Happier With Me Here

Continue In My Presence To Always Dwell

It’s Your Passion That I Hold Very Dear.”

**

Oh LORD, You Are Really Speaking

To Me Right Here In This Sanctuary!

About Life And Death And A Thriving

You’ve Turned My Grief And Made Me Happy!

**

Thank You LORD For The Condolence

Out Of My Misery You Now Have Pulled

Thank You LORD For The Reassurance

All Things Will Be Because You Have So Ruled

**

I Am Deciding Here In This Sanctuary

That To Live Is Christ, To Die I Will Have Gained

Aunt Mary’s Works Will Be In My Memory

As A Drive For What I Have Been Ordained

**

I’ll Do My Work I’ll Carry The Light

With Joy I’ll Live Out My Salvation

I’ll Stay Faithful Whatever My Plight

‘Cause The Prize Is Precious Whatever The Exertion

**

The Day Will Come When I Get To Meet

Aunt Mary On Highways Made Of Gold

May I Proudly Tell Her On That Street

That The “Well-Done” Words Are What I Hold

**
