Finally Home

As my uncle lay dying in his nursing home bed He couldn't comprehend the words people said For so many years his body declined And Alzheimers disease had clouded his mind Just a few days before he died The Lord Himself came and sat by his side He said to him gently in a voice soft and low It's almost time for you to go Come live in the presence of My Father and Me There are so many things I want you to see Your mansion is ready for you to move in I started to build it when I cleansed all your sin I know you have suffered and been in much pain But here in My kingdom it's all sun and no rain I can't wait to hold you close to My breast In My strong arms I want you to rest Then I will walk with you on streets made of gold There you will meet the great saints of old Then you will meet your family and friends And you'll all live forever where joy never ends So hold on my child no more will you roam I'm coming to get you and welcome you home In Loving Memory of my Uncle Roland F.
