"Home At Last"
There are no words, what can I say at last her sweet soul winged its way to peace and
freedom in the sky where never again will she suffer or cry.
It's all a part of God's great plan...which is a mystery to man.
We cannot understand His ways nor can we count our earthly days;
but who are we to question and doubt? God knoweth well what He's about.
He knew she longed to "go to sleep" where only angels a vigil keep.
The pain of living grew too great no longer could she stay and wait.
She did not want to leave you dear but she had finished her work down here.
So she closed her eyes and when she awoke these are the words that the Master spoke.
"Welcome, dear child, you are home at last and now the burden of living is past.
There's work for you in My kingdom dear and you are needed and wanted here."
So weep not, she's just gone on ahead; don't think of her as being dead.
She's out of sight for a little while and you'll miss her touch, and her little smile.
But you know she is safe in the home above;
where there is nothing but peace and love. ^
And, surely, you would not deny her peace and you're glad she has found release.
Think of here there as a soul that is free.
And Home at last, where she wanted to be.
"Hold Us Up Lord"
(By Linda Elrod)
Lord, we know You're always busy for You've many things to do,
But, when sorrow overcomes us, well, we need to talk to you.
For We've lost someone precious; and they're with You there above,
And it's someone that we needed, and its someone that we love...
We are feeling lost and all alone, and though we do believe,
We need You, Lord, to hold us up. To help us while we grieve.
Please give us strength and courage Lord,
To bear what we must bear; and nudge us when our faith is weak,
To remind us You are there. Give us hope for our tomorrows,
Tell us life will still go on. Show us Lord that all this darkness will be followed
By the dawn...
You've led us through so many things. You've pulled us through before,
Hold us up Lord till we're through this and we are strong once more.
