First Christmas In Heaven
First Christmas In Heaven
I’ve had my first Christmas in heaven,
A glorious , wonderful day !
I stood with saints of the ages
Who found Christ , the Truth, and the Way .
I sang with the heavenly choir ;
Just think ! I , who so long to sing !
And oh ! what celestial music
We brought to our Saviour and King !
We sang the glad songs of redemption ,
How Jesus to Bethlehem came ,
And how they had called His name Jesus ,
That all might be saved through His name .
We sang once again with the angels ,
The song that they sang that blest morn ,
When shepherds first heard the glad story
That Jesus , the Saviour , was born .
O , dear one , I wish you had been here ;
No Christmas on earth could compare
With all the rapture and glory
We witnessed in Heaven so fair .
You know how I always loved Christmas ;
It seemed such a wonderful day ,
With all of my loved ones around me ,
The children so happy and gay .
Yes , now I can see why I loved it ,
And , O , what a joy it would be ,
When all of my loved ones are with me ,
To share in the glories I see ,
So dear ones on earth , here’s my greeting :
Look up till the day dawn appears ,
And , Oh , what a Christmas awaits us ,
Beyond all our parting and tears

This poem is in reminiscence my Brother , Larry Bagwell , he was more than a brother , he was best friend . He been in heaven for a few years now , but I would like to think , this is from him . The way I write these poems is , I sit and pray and what come in my head I write . I cannot add a verse or take one away . It only worked when I write what I feel I am given . I give all the glory to God my Father .To my friends that have lost love ones , I pray this brings some comforted to you .
