Beverly's Song

As I lay dying
I can see the pearly gates
His arms are open to me
I know that Heaven awaits

Breaking through the bondage
That this life has me in
The angels all surround me
Welcoming me to the promised land

Where cancer cannot touch me
My fears are all relieved
Not a chance of death or suffering
All I had to do was believe

My life here may be over
But I know one thing for sure
God's love is still enduring
And his mercy I've procured

So as I lay here dying
A smile slips on my face
I may have lost this battle
But, Praise God, I've won the race.
