When My Time Is Over
by Barbara Philbrook

When my time is over and you can't see me any more,
please remember I've been blessed in life and God promises so much more.

Tears won't wash away your sorrow or pain,
but knowing I'm in God's hands may help the peace within to sustain.

Take out your Bible there are promises so clear,
to assure of God's home and that I'll be there.

You can find the way to secure your salvation too,
and be assured I'll be waiting there for you.

I am not worried, I have entrusted you to my Father above,
and I know He'll beckon you in with His sweet love.

So when the roll is called up yonder you won't have to search or wait,
I'll be there to meet you just inside the gate.

Remember how much I love you and how much you mean to me,
and know I'll be waiting till we are together for all eternity.

When my time is over, is by no means the end of life,
it is just the end of sorrow, pain and strife.

Life will go on in heaven for all eternity,
and when we arrive Jesus will greet us joyfully.
