I'M Going Home

When sickness fell upon me God carefully took me in his arms He told me that his love Was greater than any good luck charm He said it was time to return home To continue our walk on golden sand I'm here to bring you peace There will be no more chaos in my land He took my hand in his While leading me toward a bright light But God, what about my children? Don't worry, I'll see to it that they're alright They know you're now at peace No more worry, No more pain Today's forecast for you Is forever more sunny, with no chance of rain They will deal with their grief through me And I'll slowly wipe away the pain The imprint that your love made On their hearts and minds will remain They will find comfort in your memory And in the souls feel the warmth of your love It's now time that they set you free Like a beautiful, care free dove Children. I know you don't understand But one day I will reveal to you Why this terrible loss and pain I allowed you to go through But until that day comes It will surely be nice To know in your heart, that even though she fell asleep on our side She'll awake in paradise.
