Fire Flies
It’s 22 for me and you
We’ll always be together
We’ll take to flight true sons of light
Like angels without feathers
They fly so far; they shine like stars
The brightest in the heavens
They do what’s best; they’ve come to rest
In Jesus’ holy presence
Without a chair they worship there
Their bodies don’t grow tired
There is no blood left in the mud
Their dates do not expire
