Analysis of A Peek Into Heaven
If only for a moment
Man could peek into heaven
He could learn more than
If he read twenty four seven
The things that would be learned
To accept our chores with a smile
If called upon ask not what's earned
Perform with joy, walk that extra mile
Love and forgive as mothers do
Never think His work is through
You are expected to act like Him
Never let your shinning light dim.
As He did you are to Perform miracles
Heal the sick and move the mountains
Stop the floods, quakes and volcanoes
Stop the troubles of the world.
A wonderful dream but ask you how
I tell you now by being obedient
Evil never was a good
And good never brought on evil
