I closed my eyes

As I drew near to the end of my journey
My heavy eyes started to close
It was not left up to me whether to stay or go
Knowing all along from the grave, He Arose

Being so tired, closing my eyes to sweet death 
Looking toward His Light, drawing my last breath

Hallelujah, He has Risen that I might live with him
Where His everlasting Light will never grow dim

His Love surrounds my waiting soul
In life after death making me whole

No tongue can tell, nor eye can see
The Glorious Sights revealed unto me

Death could not hold My Master in the grave
Passing that on to me when I was saved

Hallelujah, Praise His Name for Evermore
I have reached that Heavenly Golden Shore
