\"\"<\/h6>\n
I used to live in a faraway place<\/h6>\n
Let me see, if I can retrace, the other side from here\u2026<\/h6>\n
Time was measured by days, months and years, people lived in constant fear<\/h6>\n
Not knowing what they\u2019d find on the other side.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Rain fell from the sky\u2026<\/h6>\n
There was a sun to brighten the day\u2026<\/h6>\n
As moon-glowed to grace the night<\/h6>\n
And a trillion tiny stars sparkled in the dark\u2026<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
It was a garden full of life, as flowers bloomed and brought forth life<\/h6>\n
Animals cooed and roared, ran and swam in oceans deep\u2026<\/h6>\n
Winding rivers gushed with the flow like music to the soul\u2026<\/h6>\n
Mountains grew tall and wide, valleys dipped in shadow\u2026as trees stood and waved<\/h6>\n
Hello and goodbye\u2026people lived, and people died.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
That was life on the other side!<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
But let me tell you where I now abide\u2026<\/h6>\n
Streets of gold run far and wide\u2026<\/h6>\n
Animals talk and sing and laugh and play and Angel\u2019s fly\u2026<\/h6>\n
Souls who accepted the terms of God\u2019s son<\/h6>\n
Have no fear, life fully won<\/h6>\n
Gathers by the river of life and sing and dance and rejoice\u2026<\/h6>\n
There is no fear no dying here\u2026<\/h6>\n
There is only love and hope and unlimited cheer\u2026<\/h6>\n
Why on this side we do not cry or ever wonder why\u2026<\/h6>\n
No sickness or regret<\/h6>\n
No rejection, better yet\u2026<\/h6>\n
There is peace I\u2019ve never known.<\/h6>\n
We\u2019re forever young and strong.<\/h6>\n
Everyone here just gets along, alive in the moment, for time doesn\u2019t matter here at all\u2026<\/h6>\n
We gather at the Father\u2019s, throne and sing the Redeemer\u2019s blessed song\u2026<\/h6>\n
The blood of Jesus still runs free he paid it all on calvary\u2026<\/h6>\n
Stories are told of His Love, Hope and Peace<\/h6>\n
Brother, sister, here, we\u2019ll never cease to live in the gospel story<\/h6>\n
So, while you\u2019re on the other side, don\u2019t waste your life take up your cross and follow Him<\/h6>\n
Read His book and understand, when life is over in that other land\u2026<\/h6>\n
You\u2019ll want to live here on the other side of forever\u2026<\/h6>\n
There\u2019s only One thing you have to do to live on this side<\/h6>\n
Accept Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Savior!<\/h6>\n
Take it from me, one from the other side!<\/h6>\n
