Detour to Heaven

Christopher, my son,
your journey on earth is done.
God gave you a detour
and given you the crown you’ve won.

We’re sad and we’re grieving
since God took you away.
But, you’re so blessed
to walk in His glory today.

We loved you with all our hearts
and felt you were too young to die.
Of course, we’ll trust in God’s plan
for He only knows the reason why.

You left behind so many
including your children and wife.
We will never be the same
without you in our life.

You’re in your heavenly home
it must be beautiful in Paradise.
We’ll deeply miss you--
but for now, we’ll say our good-byes.

One day we’ll embrace again
when our Lord reunites us together.
To be a family of God
where we’ll worship and praise Him forever.
