I'Ve Made It Home

Sadness fills a lonely, country road
A loved one leaves behind her heavy load
With courage she endured until the end
Heaven gained an angel, the world lost a friend

Her strength to endure and run her race
Her reward to look upon the Savior's face
A wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and brethren
Standing on the balcony of her palace in Heaven

Reunited with the man of her true love story
Hand in hand, basking in God's glory
Many hearts broken with such great loss
The Jordan River she has forever crossed

Today her valleys are left behind
No more rough mountains must she climb
All her trials and troubles are now defeated
Her journey in this life now completed

While we mourn, she stands blessed
In her eternal home forever to rest
Dressed in her robe of white
She stands victorious in the fight

On the wings of an angel, she took her flight
Guiding her home, God's glorious light
Our little country road never to be the same
This world of affliction and sorrow she overcame

If she could speak from Heavens throne
Fear not my children, I made it home
I am alive, well and so carefree
Wipe your tears my loves, do not cry for me
