(1) When alarmed by the fury of the restless sea,
Towering waves before you roll,
At the end of doubt and peril is eternity,
Though fear and conflict seize your soul
Just think of stepping on shore, and finding it heaven
Of touching a hand, and finding it God's
Of breathing new air, and finding it celestial
Of waking up in Glory, and finding it "Home"
(2) When surrounded by the blackness of the darkest night,
Oh how lonely death can be,
At the end this long tunnel is a shinning light,
For death is swallowed-up in Victory, (Victory!)
Just think of stepping on shore, and finding it heaven
Of touching a hand, and finding it God's
Of breathing new air, and finding it celestial
Of waking up in Glory, and finding it "Home"
Finally Home!
Listen to it here. LISTEN

Just found your blog and have enjoyed it. The song "Finally Home" has always been a favorite of mine as it was sung at both of my parents funerals. It gives such hope and encouragement! Our church family is waiting for one of our saints to "go home" as the doctors say that he has less than a week. We grieve but not as those with no hope.
Thanks for your blog....
