The Healing Journey

Christmas In Heaven

The holly and the ivy
We’re wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like
as we grieve alone and pray,

longing for one who has gone before
to spend Christmas in Heaven today.
And so in our dreams we wander far
from the scenes and sounds of Earth

‘til we catch the strains of the Heavenly choir
as they sing of the Christ Child’s birth.
The angels we envision there
as they join in the festival gay
and there amid the throng is our Loved One,
spending Christmas in Heaven today.
There’s joy in the faith that teaches
when our life’s work is done
of a place in Heaven awaiting
and the crown we worked for is won.
In our grief may we learn well the lesson
so to work and suffer and pray
 
as to merit the joys of our loved one
and to spend Christmas together some day.
