We sang this in choir practice tonight, and I started thinking of Keetz, and started crying. I've always thought this song was lovely... but tonight, it suddenly took on a totally new meaning to me. It has a beautiful & powerful message of hope -- a reminder that this world is not our home, and... death does not have to be the end, but a glorious eternity with Christ! I am so grateful to have the comfort of knowing that someday I will join her and - with Jesus - we'll be "home" together, for all of eternity! ♥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"
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!

And of all the songs we *could* have worked on... to sing this one, on this day.... It was like God hand picked it just for me, for this circumstance, to encourage me, & help comfort my sad & aching heart. I still cannot believe she's gone (from this earth), let alone that it's been an entire month, today. I miss her so...
