Story Behind the Song
The friend I talk about in the song was a dear old woman whom I loved. She came to know the Lord in a very real way before she died, and I had the privalege of witnessing that.
Lyrics
A friend of mine,
Passed away in her sleep.
Y’know she loved the Lord,
And had him in her heart.
And though her life was long,
It’s just a blink in the eye
Of Eternity.
And when she meets the Lord,
The Party’s just going to start!
There’ll be a party tonight,
Party tonight in the Heavenlies.
There’ll be Jesus, John, Peter, and Paul
Dancin’ in a line.
Well you better get ready,
The train is comin’ to get us.
No need to pack your bags,
Just give Jesus your life.
Well I knew a man,
Didn’t have much to live for.
He was lookin’ for something this life
Could never give.
One day he bowed his head
And asked for the Blessed Assurance.
Now his life has turned around
Like you wouldn’t believe.
On the day he prayed
To the King of Glory,
The Heavens opened up
And shown down their light.
When he was done,
One angel said to another,
“You better fluff your wings!
There’ll be a party tonight!”
On the Last Day
When the trumpet start to sound,
And the Heavens open,
And take us in the sky,
In the blink of an eye,
Like a bolt of lightening,
We will be transformed,
Glowing with Holy Light.
When we get to Heaven,
There’ll be no lines for waitin’.
There’ll be no, “Take a number,
Then go have a seat.”
Just a wedding banquet,
With music and singing,
And dancing.
And a mile-long table
Filled with plenty to eat!
A friend of mine
Passed away
In her sleep…
