She Received Her Ticket
 
She received her ticket three days before
When she quietly whispered in prayer, with her eyes closed
Her teardrops falling
I could see her lips gently move, I could hear her heartbeat
Was in His hands,
No more worries,
No more loneliness,
No more fighting
Her ticket was her soul
On the Heaven Express
With no stops,
She got on board not looking back
Seeing the train that lit the skies
Leaving trace marks in the sky
Her broken back now felt relaxed
All of her worries reached the skies
That he filled with lies
That broke the ties
All of her tears through the years
Collected by angels
To get her a first class seat
With bibles on board
She now could look forward
To her new life
As Christ’s wife
She received her ticket three days before
When she got that ticket she wasn’t expecting a
First class seat, it came by surprise
I could feel her rise
Like a star in the sky
She’s now in Heaven above where I’ll be one day
And I will say
I missed you, so many times I thought, I would brake
It was only by grace
That I could see the final race
And the traces
You left behind
Filled with a trunk of memories for little girls to open
When they turn 16 years old
Momma’s last gift from Heaven
Remind me that no one knows if they have one more day
Because the Heaven Express can come anytime from any direction
Once you give your soul
