Let This Be Heaven

~H.R. Merrill 

Oh, God, let this be heaven— 
I do not ask for golden streets             
Or long for jasper walls 
Nor do I sigh for pearly shores       
      Where twilight never falls
Just leave me here beside these peaks      
       In this rough western land,
I love this dear old world of thine—       
      Dear God, You understand.

Oh, God, let this be heaven— 
I do not crave white, stainless robes      
       I’ll keep these marked by toil. 
Instead of straight and narrow walks      
       I love trails soft with soil; 
I have been healed by crystal streams,     
        But these from snow-crowned peaks 
Where dawn burns incense to the day      
       And paints the sky in streaks.

Dear God, let this be heaven— 
I do not ask for angel wings      
       Just leave that old peak there 
And let me climb ‘til comes the night—      
       I want no golden stair 
Then when I say my last adieu      
       And all farewells are given 
Just leave my spirit here somewhere 
Oh, God, let this be heaven!

Conrad Ranch, Est. 1863  

Conrad Ranch Wedding & Event Center, derives from humble beginnings. This land has been preserved for seven generations, and counting. 

The event center you see today was brought to you by the hands of Darel Conrad, he has stood with his back straight, building his entire life,  to creating the event center we see today. When he's not working on 'The Ranch' he's creating new life experiences in depth, gratitude, and appreciation to his wife Linda, as a tribute of their life together raising their 10 children.
