(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.
