The Stairway to God
Hundreds have stared in awe today
Light filtered down in Divine array
Golden stairs appeared in the sky
Tears of joy flowed from every eye.
On this exquisite Resurrection morn
A family prayed, then became reborn
Angels sang of His amazing love
Breathtaking was the fiery sky above.
There stood in solitude for all to see
A Cross tells the story of Christ to me
Our Pastor brushed his tear away
Preached a perfect message this day.
When the stairway to the heavens came
Voices spoke and cried His holy name
His presence held a vigil in the air
Christians prayed to Him a prayer.
Oh, I thought surely He might come
The stairway opened the hearts of some
But He waits for there are more
That long to walk through heaven's door.
How many days will pass us by?
In my soul there is the deepest sigh
For our loved ones are everywhere
Simply waiting for a moment to share.
This painting in the sky will remind
So many hearts need to seek and find
Jesus lingers in the sky for now
Someday soon every knee will bow.
The stairway, oh how it calls to me
Lord hear my prayer that I may see
My loved ones walking up that stair
To meet God the Father waiting there.

Prayer is communication between man and God. A family that
incorporates prayer into their lifestyle are giving the ultimate gift to
themselves. Life is difficult and suffering is an inevitable part of life. A
family that prays knows that they can turn to God and be accepted and loved for
who they are. Every human being needs to turn to God with his or her triumphs
and failures and know that life is meaningful. A family that prays together has
the ultimate support system.
