Don't stop holding on (Jonathan Helser)


 I was awakened last night 
To the sound of dancing feet above me. 
I thought they were on my roof 
Till it struck me – they were on golden streets. 
  
Opened my eyes and saw 
What I thought was an angel dancing. 
She was a perfect child. 
She looked at me and smiled – and sang this song. 
  
Mama, can you hear me? 
Daddy, can you feel me? 
I’m made whole. 
I’m at home. 
I’m dancing on streets of gold 
Don’t stop holding on. 
  
Her hair was golden 
like it was woven from the streets she danced upon. 
She was laughing and spinning. 
She couldn’t stop singing this song. 
  
Mama, can you hear me? 
Daddy, can you feel me? 
I’m made whole. 
I’m at home. 
I’m dancing on streets of gold.
Don’t stop holding on. 
  
This is Amy’s Song. 
This is Amy’s Song. 
From her streets of gold 
She is singing you a song, 
Singing you a song. 
Don’t stop holding on. 
  
Can you see her at His throne 
With her hair of gold? 
She is holding – holding on
To the threads of His robe. 
She is singing you a song. 
She is singing you a song. 
She is singing you a song of hope. 
  
Hope is being born in you. 
Hope is being woven. 
Hope is being born in you. 
Hope is coming. 
Don’t stop holding on. 

During the month of November, we remember All Souls...
