This beautiful song, composed by 27-year-old twins from Vancouver, Dani and Lizzy, was requested by our friend Sharon. The words are below but to summarize the healing this composition has had on listeners, I am quoting a man from Boston….”This song told me that Heaven is all around us and that angels are walking among us.”  Inspirational.  
This week’s Musical Message is dedicated to the memory of Rachel and Emerson and all the good times.  And happiness to Jerry, Sharon, Jeremy, and Jody and all their friends and family.  And to all others who have lost their own “angels”…

Tell me, what does it look like in heaven?
Is it peaceful? Is it free like they say?
Does the sun shine bright forever?
Have your fears and your pain gone away? ‘Cause here on earth it feels like
Everything good is missing since you left
And here on earth, everything’s different
There’s an emptiness. I hope you’re dancing in the sky
And I hope you’re singing in the angel’s choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I’ll bet it’s so nice up in heaven since you arrived. So tell me, what do you do up in heaven?
Are your days filled with love and light?
Is there music? Is there art and adventure?
Tell me are you happy? Are you more alive.
I hope you’re dancing in the sky and I hope you’re singing in the angel’s choir
And I hope the angels know what they have I’ll bet it’s so nice up in heaven since you arrived….since you arrived.

When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so weary When troubles come, and my heart burdened beThen, I am still and wait here in the silence Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains. You raise me up to walk on stormy seas. I am strong when I am on your shoulders. You raise me up to more than I can be.

Every week we hear from friends how the music selection effected them….past memories or current situations,  Sending out a musical message each week is something Phil and I can do during these strange and difficult times and maybe even continue into the best of times.  Thank you for “raising us up!” by your kind words.
