~~SAFELY HOME~~

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 11:25

Those we love must someday pass
beyond our present sight...
Must leave us and the world we know
without their radiant light.
But we know that like a candle
their lovely light will surely shine
To brighten up another place
more perfect... more divine.
And in the realm of Heaven
where they shine so warm and bright.
Our loved ones live forevermore
in God ’s eternal light.
~From a Prayer Card~

Death is a gateway
Our loved ones pass through
On their way to a land
Where we're all born anew,
And while we can't see
What's on death's other side,
We know that our Father
Will richly provide
All that He promised
To those who believe,
And his kingdom is waiting
For us to receive.
