Aunt Grace and all your loved ones: When Gods says “Come home,”
And opens wide the door,
We’re sad because we cannot see
Our loved ones anymore,
And yet we know, beyond the door,
They’re in a glorious place
Where everything is perfect,
Where they see the Saviour’s face,
And He will send His Spirit down
To soothe each grieving heart
Until we join our loved ones,
Home at last…. no more to part.
We pray for strength for all of yous at this difficult time!
