Lyrics
For on the wings of death, a living soul takes flight
Into the promise land, where there is no night
Only beauty joy & peace and love beyond our dreams
Jesus loves his portrait drawn in crayon
I'll be here drawing pictures too
Your spirit lives in me
Now that you are free
Forever we will always draw in crayon
I know that she's in Heaven, her voice in me is strong
Her name carved in my heart, she will go on & on
I think of things she use to say, she's closer than before
Jesus loves his portrait drawn in crayon
I'll be here drawing pictures too
Your spirit lives in me
Now that you are free
Forever we will always draw in crayon
You'll be in Heaven to meet me
Till then you're in my heart
We'll walk together hand in hand
Enjoying Heaven's art
With brightly colored crayons all around me
All around you, I'll be there to see you through
Death is a stepping stone, gateway to better days
It brings sadness to my heart, more than words can say
God brings us hope, but its up to us to pray
Jesus loves his portrait drawn in crayon
I'll be here drawing pictures too
Your spirit lives in me
Now that you are free
Forever we will always draw in crayon
