Dancing with Jesus

by Jacki Halton McAvoy

Rest in peace is often said while standing in a funeral line
A flower filled room of well dressed guests
To many, may seem fine

But when I reach those gates and they open the doors
I don't plan to rest at all
"May I have this dance?" is what He'll say
As we glide past golden halls

And I'll be dancing with Jesus
Through a star lit night
We will laugh and talk and sing
There is so much to tell him
So much to say
As I'm dancing with Jesus one day

We'll reminisce all the night and the days beyond too
My wonderful friend and I
There will be no rest
No cares. No complaints.
How time really does fly by

As I'm dancing with Jesus
Through a star lit night
We will laugh and talk and sing
There is so much to tell him
So much to say
As I'm dancing with Jesus one day

And the loved ones we'll see! The places we'll go!
As we walk in Heaven above
But, I won't rest in peace
I'll be busy you see
And filled with infinite love

And I'll be dancing with Jesus
Through a star lit night
We will laugh and talk and sing
There is so much to tell him
So much to say
As I'm dancing with Jesus one day
