Yodeling in Heaven

words & music by Beth Williams 1994

Oh what a day! What a day it will be when I see my mother again. I know she'll be waiting right there for me when the Lord says "Beth, Come on it!"

There will be huggin' in heaven, huggin' in heaven, huggin' in heaven, I am sure.

 

Oh what a day when there's no fear of tomorrow, all tears & sorrow washed away. They'll be no more sadness, only joy & gladness when the Lord takes us home one happy day.

There will be clapping in heaven, clapping  in heaven, clapping in heaven, I am sure.

********

Oh what a day! What a day it will be when I see my dear Saviors face. I know he'll be waiting right there for me ...I have been saved by His amazing grace

We will be   happy  in heaven, happy  in heaven, happy  in heaven, I am sure 

********

Behold in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, we shall all be changed.  So let everything that has breath praise the Lord...sing praises to his Holy Name. 

There will be yodelin' in heaven, yodelin' in heaven, yodelin' in heaven, I am sure.

ALo u, A Lay E, I Love the Lord, Love the Lord, I Love the Lord ( repeat)

Eternally

words & music by Beth Williams  Oct.1993

Mama, this song is for you.  And mama, there's nothing I would rather do than to sing for you, You are my sweet dream that has always come true.  

I want to thank you for all the times.. you loved me even when I was running blind, through the night, you were the light I could always seem to find. 

*********

The one thing I have been sure of in my life is the unconditional love in your eyes.  The safest place I could ever be is wherever you are, with your arms holding me.  

And I will love you, love you mama, eternally. 

***********

Mama, you are my heart.  And mama, if we should ever be apart I'll keep on singing, I'll keep on dreaming till all our dreams come true.

********** 

The one thing I have been sure of in this life is the unconditional love in your eyes.  The safest place I could ever be is wherever you are, with your arms holding me.  

And I will love you, love you mama, eternally. 

 

Mom with Dad...the one & only love of her life.

 

Then I saw a new Heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.  And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them.  They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

 And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away.     Revelation 21:1-4

 

This page is dedicated to my mom, Frances Louise Williams.  She was diagnosed with cancer in Oct. of '93, and passed over into glory one month later on Nov. 2, 1993. 

She loved fire engine red.  She was my #1 Fan.

********

I thank the Lord for blessing me so richly with both my parents love.  I must admit I gave them a difficult time through my growing up years and even on into my adulthood.  Regardless of anything I ever said or did, mom was a light beckoning me home, and dad was her rock.  Dad once said  "Your mother never did a wrong thing in her life." and he was right.  She was an angel before she ever went to Heaven and I look forward to the day I'll see her there. I love you Mama.

MAMAS SONG
words & music by Beth Williams - 1984 

Mama my man ran off & left me all alone
with the kid & the dog and the mortgage on our home
hate to call you up so late & get you out of bed
mama oh mama, you always said

chorus
"call me if you need me, come home anytime
me & daddy don't have much money, we'll share every dime
we'll always love you, no matter what you do
feel free to come on home & we'll take care of you"

when I come home, I can feel the pain leave my eyes
I sleep just like a little baby , dreaming lullabies
I can feel the hardness in my heart melt away
I feel like a little girl again & everything's okay

chorus
Cause you said "call me if you need me, come home anytime
me & daddy don't have much money, we'll share every dime
we'll always love you, no matter what you do
feel free to come on home & we'll take care of you"

I know the Lord must love me, cause he gave me you
to lift my spirits when I'm down, and cheer me when I'm blue
I hope if you ever need to, you can come to me
so I can give back a little bit of love you gave to me for free

chorus
So mama, call me if you need me, come home anytime
I don't have a whole lotta money, but I'll share every dime
I'll always love you , no matter what you do
feel free to come here mama, I'll take care of you
feel free to come on home and I'll take care of you

ONE EMPTY CHAIR
words & music by Beth Williams - 1994  

I'm gonna sing on the Opry before my life is through
It's something me & momma dreamed I would do
The house will be packed, but for one empty chair
It really won't be empty, momma said she'd be there

chorus
They'll be one empty chair on the front row that night

reserved seating & a single red rose
They'll be one empty chair on the front row that night

reserved seating for Heaven's most beautiful rose

They'll be laughing & singing, fiddles & guitar
Daddy will be smiling at the big country stars
As I walk on the stage, tears will fall from his eyes
for the wife of 40 years isn't there by his side

chorus
They'll be one empty chair on the front row that night
reserved seating & a single red rose
They'll be one empty chair on the front row that night
reserved seating for Heaven's most beautiful rose

bridge
Oh she'll be happy in Heaven that night,
and telling everybody she meets
How she saw me on the Opry & with love shining bright
from the front row, she held a rose out to me. 

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed -

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.  

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible,

and we shall all be changed.       I Corinthians 15: 51 & 52 

Just a Visitor Passing Through

Words & Music by Beth Williams 1993

I saw Mama cross the river...I was there by her side. 

And as she left us, I couldn't help but wonder...if Jesus loved her, where was He tonight?

Then I remembered when I was 10 years old.. standing at the front of the church, my brother and me. 

The preacher said "One day you'll walk the streets of gold, now that you believe".

He said "You're just a visitor passing through.  This world is not the final home for you.

 You're just a visitor passing through.  Rest assured God's Heaven wait's for you."

VERSE 2

Brother left me before I  was 20.  Mama cried, she loved him so. 

Now they both walk by the river, hand in hand along the streets of gold.

Now I remember what my Mama said when she found out she'd run out of time. 

"I'll be just a whisper and a prayer away...you know Jesus, He's a friend of mine."

She said "You're just a visitor passing through.  This world is not the final home for you.

 You're just a visitor passing through.  Rest assured God's Heaven wait's for you."

She said "When it's your time it's your time...don't you worry 'bout me, I'll be fine.  This is not, no this is not, not this is not your home.  You're just a visitor passing through, rest assured heaven wait's for you. 

Angels from above will come & carry you into the arms of love. Angels from above will come & carry me into the arms of love.

Frances Louise Williams   Dec. 13,1933 - Nov.2,1993

        

Oct. 25, 2007
  
   Perhaps in what felt like a dream you heard the  sound of shouting and joyful laughter at 2:35 am, Texas time.  That was Dad being reunited with mom.   I'm sure he was young and healthy, smiling as he lifted his arms to wave and yell "Frances!!"  And then he ran into her waiting arms.  He's missed her so.

John and Frances Williams.....TOGETHER FOREVER
