I wrote this back in March 2007:
Who I want to see in heaven?
I am curious who you want to see first on the other side.
Taking into consideration we all want to see the Lord God Almighty.
We all want to see our parents and relatives.
We all want to meet the biblical characters.
We all want to meet the Angels.
Beyond that who do you want to meet?
I personally want to meet GT Haywood...
I just want to stand next to him and hear him sing...
I see a Crimson Stream of Blood...
On Cal’vry’s hill of sorrow
Where sin’s demands were paid,
And rays of hope for tomorrow
Across our path were laid.
I see a crimson stream of blood,
It flows from Calvary,
Its waves which reach the throne of God,
Are sweeping over me.
Today no condemnation
Abides to turn away
My soul from His salvation,
He’s in my heart to stay.
When gloom and sadness whisper,
“You’ve sinned—no use to pray,”
I look away to Jesus,
And He tells me to say:
And when we reach the portal
Where life forever reigns,
The ransomed hosts’ grand final
Will be this glad refrain.
He will add a final line:
In your presence we stand together,
In a moment of endless peace
Your blood has washed us forever,
and our worship will never cease
The Lord God Almighty will then rush to find GT Haywood in the crowd.
As all of heaven stands still and silent.
So everyone can see.
Just like with the Woman and her issue of Blood.
As he reaches GT Haywood, and I standing by.
He reaches forth his hands and turns them to the sky.
Those nail prints that Thomas touched to see...
As GT Haywood continues singing with awesome glee...
Then a resounding roar in heaven with the entire host proclaiming....
Oh, the blood that flowed from Calvary....
