If I am the first to go
I will wait for you in the place
Where the crowns of Angels glow
If I go first because I lost the fight
I will be waiting with the Father
Where the tunnel opens into light
If I am the first one there
I will await you in lush meadows
Where heady perfume fills the air
If I go first and leave you lonely
We will meet again in paradise
In our loved ones company
If I am the first to go, allay your fears
I will be waiting in the place
Where there are no more tears
If I go before you and we must part
I will wait for you in heaven
Where sweet music soothes the heart
If I am first to go we will meet again
In a far better place than this
Where God has banished pain
If I go first through the eternal door
You will find me with the angels
Where suffering is no more
If I am first to go by days or years
You will find me waiting there
Far beyond this vale of tears

This is much more poetic to me and well written. I'm not a Christian so it does not speak to me in that way, but I like the sentiment of it. My only criticism would be the repetition of tears...I might replace the first reference as I particularly like the last line.
