Beautiful Eulogy |
There used to be a time when we were fine |
Living life with no particular religious bend |
Pretending to be our own gods |
Inventing our own systems of belief so as to not depend |
On anything other than our own self-governing consent |
Defending an impending doom with no perceived need |
To concede or repent, presuming our innocence in a sense to sin; |
The sting of death was only the inevitable end |
Of everything we could never rightly understand or comprehend |
We used to fear the unknown 'til God made himself known |
And atoned, mending the relationship between God and men |
Giving His life as a ransom for many when He died and ascended |
And in that one event the certainty of eternal death was circumvented |
Making a way for the day when history stops and time suspends |
Spending eternity in fellowship that never ends |
We see the greatest expression of God’s love extended in that moment |
When those who were once enemies instead became God’s friends |
And when it’s my time to go |
Go ahead and take me home |
I know I’ll be with you |
I know I’ll be with you |
When it is my time to go |
Go ahead and take me home |
Nowhere that I’d rather go |
I wanna be with you |
How sweet the Gospel sounds to ears like mine |
Well acquainted with pain and strained relationships |
Friendships that suffer from long distances |
Or even worse they get severed from something more severe |
And He still hasn’t wiped away all my tears yet |
My cheeks get wet every now and then |
Even when I give my best, I know I fall short |
I get scared when the ball’s in my court |
Focused on my performance, wretched and poor |
It makes the message more real when I preach it |
I’m not there yet so I’m reaching, reaching for a goal: |
To stand before my King and be speechless |
Then, never again will I question if His grace is sufficient to cover my sin |
Cause death is gone, and all the effects of evil and wrong |
Will be conquered when His Kingdom comes |
So this is my hope and my prayer |
The air that I’ll breathe in eternity with lungs that never fail me |
If it pleases my Lord, and only by Your grace |
Use my life 'til it’s poured out for Your sake |
Until then I’ll remain where You have me |
With joy when I feel unhappy |
And a peace that surpasses all my understanding |
My life is in the hands of Your love everlasting |
And when it’s my time to go |
Go ahead and take me home |
I know I’ll be with you |
I know I’ll be with you |
When it is my time to go |
Go ahead and take me home |
Nowhere that I’d rather go |
I wanna be with you |
And when it’s my time to go |
Go ahead and take me home |
I know I’ll be with you |
I know I’ll be with you |
When it is my time to go |
Go ahead and take me home |
Nowhere that I’d rather go |
I wanna be with you |
