THE BAPTISM

Praying on my face way back in '87
I know God was showing me a little bit of heaven
Suddenly in the quietness of an intimate moment with Him
He showed me the future in a clear Vision

My brother Tom was being baptized!
It brought instant tears to my eyes
I wept as I thanked Him for that promise
A Promise that is so much more than a wish!

Many times since that day back in '87 
I've touched God's Throne in heaven
I don't have to ask Jesus about Tom--I just know--
That my brother himself will be touching God's throne!

        When Tom is finally baptized by Pastor Rogers just as the Lord showed me
        We will be laughing, dancing and shouting--
                                                          shouting the VICTORY!
