One day we’ll be beside the people we love in heaven. We’ll walk hand in hand with each other, and share wonderful stories. This amazing thought can somehow give us hope and not fear death some day.
“I Want to Stroll Over Heaven with You” by Carl L. Trivette
Carl L. Trivette wrote a beautiful song for his wife, Marilee Rasnake when she was alive. He expressed his love for her in the song “I Want to Stroll Over Heaven with You.”
The Song’s Content
The song combines the love that the songwriter has for his wife, and the desire to be with her even in heaven. Furthermore, he never forgets to praise the Lord in the song. He mentions that all the great things happening in our life came from God.
If I surveyed all the good things that come to me from above
If I count all the blessings from the storehouse of love
Since this song was written for his wife, Trivette read the words to the song at her funeral. It’s such a heartbreaking thing to imagine, but one day they will surely be together in heaven happily enjoying each others company.
