This world, however beautiful,
was never meant to be
The place that we would call our home
for all eternity.
And though we would not choose to leave,
a loving God knows best,
And in His time,
He lifts us to a place of peace and rest.
For He has built a manison
where His children will abide,
Free from pain and sorrow,
forever at His side.
He said He'd never leave us
to face our trails alone,
And though sometimes we fail Him,
He never fails His own.
And even when our choices
are less than He would ask,
He knows when human courage
is unequal to the task.
We cannont judge what happens,
though tears and questions start--
We only see what's visible--
God sees into the heart...
And though there may be many things
that we cannont explain,
We can be sure it breaks His heart
to see His children's pain.
In loving arms,
He bears us to a quiet place apart
Where He mends the wounded spirit
and heals the broken heart.
And though these ones we love so much
have left our present sight
And passed into a better world
of majesty and light,
Someday we'll be together
in our Father's home above,
Where we'll thank Him for His mercy
and praise Him for His love.
