Coming Home

His arms ache to hold you.
He's been waiting for all time.
The moment has been planned for,
and so He calls you home.


What do you leave behind?
A tragedy, a cancer?
That moment fades away now.
And the one that opens up
finds you whole in the arms of Love.


Who do you leave to
mourn you?
Your love, your children, your friends.
Death is a sting that lingers -
but to Him it's one that sends.

Death sends you to His arms.
Death births you to new life.
Death brings you to the ones
who've gone before
and beckons to those left behind.

Psalm 116:15
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
