The strand holding my spirit in my body broke
And my soul was set free
I cascaded through oceans of time
When I arrived in eternity

I landed on a unknown shore
The sand was made of light and grace
I felt I did not deserve to be here
Yet I was welcomed warmly to this place

The air was perfumed with love
The water was made of life
The trees bore fruits of joy
And no longer felt I any pain or strife

the best of all was Him
Sitting on the throne
Pierced hands outstretched towards me
He received me as His own

I felt deeply aware of my shortcomings
I felt so unclean in the presence of Him
Yet with no hesitation, He kissed me
And proclaimed I was forgiven

In a moment I was transformed
He made me totally complete
He placed a crown on my head
But I threw it back down at His feet

He was the champion!
He was the reason I was alive
He took the punishment
So I could be by His side

He made this beautiful place
He made the way to be here
He took it all upon Himself
And He took away every fear

He washed away my pain
He cleansed my tear stained face
He gave me a robe made of mercy
And filled me to overflowing with His love and grace
