Picture This

Picture life in heaven perhaps it's time to try Better safe than sorry And live with God,on high; Picture all the people, Loving day, by day Picture there,a wedding a supper with a feast where the last is first and the grandest is the least; Picture all the people, Loving day, by day You may say I am dreaming but I'm not the only one I pray someday you'll join me For I know,His will be done Picture there a river no curse,no day,no night Eternally together The Lord God gives us light; Picture all the people, Loving day, by day You may say I am dreaming but I'm not the only one I pray someday you'll join me For I know,His will be done Melody ;Imagine by the Beatles See more @ Rev 19:7-10 & 22:1-5

Nice Lyric Brian, as a music buff, the Beatles split in 1970 & and Imagine was written soley by John Lennon, it was released in Oct 71 and John did say that " to be as good as anything he had written with the Beatles " the song is allegedly inspired by Yoko Ono's poetry to her childhood in Japan. As John Miles said " Music is my first love, and it will be my last. Music of the future, and music of the past " thats me to a tee. Chowa, The Highlander >> James

Great write, Brian. I will have to look up this tune and see what it sounds like. Keep the creative pen flowing on the that paper that is empty. Love the mixture of Beatles and "Bible". Sara
