Going Home by Gertrude Jefferies I never imagined what a joy it would be, To see friends and loved ones waiting for me. To be welcomed home with such celebration, Escorted in by such a heavenly delegation. As we walked together down golden streets, On the splendours of heaven my new eyes did feast. Oh! The sights and sounds of this beautiful place, And majestic beings with such beauty and grace. Every where I looked were wonders to behold, It is true, the half has never been told. Then angel voices mingled with mine, Increased in crescendo as upward they climbed. The air was charged as the praises ascended, And I marvelled how all the voices blended; Each one becoming a part of the other, Unbroken in harmony, beauty and splendour. After a while the voices died down And I took this opportunity to look around. I had one desire, and it was to see The One who made all this possible for me. Then I heard a voice, like a soft gentle rain, Saying, 'welcome home, I'm so glad you came.' As He gathered me close in a loving embrace, I saw joy and happiness shining on His face. "We've so much to talk about, you and I, I've some answers for your many why's. I was so happy to be there with my risen Lord, I was so glad that I held fast to His precious Word. Nevermore will I have to fear sickness or pain, It can never ever touch me again. No earthly reunion could ever compare With the regal reception that I've received here. Rejoicing and praising such as I've never known What a wonderful introduction to my beautiful new home. |
