Safely Home
I am home in heaven, dear ones;
oh, so happy and so bright!
There is a perfect joy and
beauty in the 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.
There is work still waiting for you,
so you must not idly stand,
do it now, while life remains –
you shall rest in God’s own 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’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free;
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
If my parting has left a void;
then fill it with remembered joy.
My life’s been full, I savored much;
good friends, good times,
a loved one’s touch.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me;
God has me now, He set me free.

No Tears In Heaven
There are no tears in Heaven
so I have left behind this single,
little teardrop to lovingly remind
though absent from the body,
I’m present with the Lord;
the joy of my salvation
is now my full reward.
And just as God has promised,
He’s wiped my tears away,
and nothing can compare to
the wonder of that day.
So wear this in my memory,
and know that up above
there are no tears in Heaven,

There’s Nothing
There’s nothing in this world
that brings such happiness,
as that of a dear sweet child,
to hold, love, and caress.
As one comes into our family
there is no greater joy.
It matters not the gender,
baby girl or baby boy.
There’s nothing in this world
that brings such heartfelt sorrow,
as to have them in your life one day
and find them gone tomorrow.
At the loss of a little child
we must have faith, love, and trust
in God, our Heavenly Father,
who gave the child to us.
Love for the gift He gave us.
Trust in His wisdom divine,
and faith we’ll hold our child again
in a better place, at a better time.

Son Now In Heaven
Last night while I was trying to sleep
my Son's voice did I hear.
I opened my eyes and looked around
but he did not appear.
He said: Mom, you've got to listen
you've got to understand;
God did'nt take me from you Mom
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that day
the moment that I died.
He reached out and touched my hand
and pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me
from hardship and from pain
My body was so badly hurt
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now
I've found happiness within?
All the answers to empty dreams,
and all that may have been.
I love you all and miss you so,
and I'll always be nearby
My body's gone forever
but my spirit will never die!
Live one day at a time
just understand
God did not take me from you
He only took my hand.

Please Don't Fret
Please Don't Fret
Don't grieve for me - the sad times passed
I'm here in our Homeland, Free at-last.
I have the ultimate healing because
I've left the world, I'm in His Arms of Glory held.
For here in Heaven, there's His Big Embrace
and Joy is seen on each one's face.
Jesus walks among us as our Big Brother and Friend
this is our Home now, we're never alone.
Please do not recall my sufferings past
lay them on Jesus, I'm here at last.
It's True what Scriptures say:
those things we've endured cannot compare
with the weight of His Glory awaiting us..
Yes measureless blessings, on earth untold,
for we cannot describe them, you would have to behold.
And when you too, pass over the other side,
the glorious liberty of the children of God
will be yours also as they are mine.
And you will see Your Rewards for patience on earth
Until then be strong, your Race to run
when you're feeling weak, Rest in His Love.

His/Her Journey Has Just Begun
Don’t think of him/her as gone away
his/her journey’s just begun,
life holds so many facets
this Earth is only one.
Just think of him/her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he/she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him/her as living
in the hearts of those he/she touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he/she was loved so much.
