You're At Peace In His Love

by Elton Smith and Larry Holder

Two ladies in the Dallas area wrote asking for a song. The first one, Carolyn, had a granddaughter, Amy Robinson, who was murdered. The second one, Nancy, has created an organization called Crusade For Compassion to help families deal with these tragedies. This song is dedicated to Amy. Just before we finished this song, a gunman entered a Baptist church in nearby Fort Worth and killed several people. Larry and I extend our sympathies to those familiies also. Many thanks to Steve Israel for the excellent recording of this song. You can hear it in Realaudio below or MP3 on our site at mp3.com. - Elton, September 17, 1999

(Cello Introduction)

(Verse 1)
I recall the day
Jesus called you home,
And He set you free from all the hurt and pain.
Now you live with Him
In joy that never ends,
And one day I know I'll join you there
And see you once again.

(Chorus)
Though for now you're gone,
It is just a little while,
Till the Lord gathers all up above.
As I think of you now,
There is comfort and a smile;
You're at peace
In His love.

(Verse 2)
When you left that day,
We had to wonder why --
Still so many things we do not understand.
But we trust in God
Who makes our lives complete
And by faith we carry onward,
For our lives are in His hand.

(Repeat Chorus)
Though for now you're gone,
It is just a little while,
Till the Lord gathers all up above.
As I think of you now,
There is comfort and a smile;
You're at peace
In His love.

(Verse 3)
With the angels you sing
In your new-found home,
To the One who will dry every tear.
One day we will join
The chorus up above.
We shall all be reunited,
And the night shall disappear!

(Repeat Chorus Two Times)
Though for now you're gone,
It is just a little while,
Till the Lord gathers all up above.
As I think of you now,
There is comfort and a smile;
You're at peace
In His love.

(Ending)
You're at peace
In His love.
