about

Recently, 2 dear friends passed away within a week of each other, people I had partnered with on different projects over the span of our lives. They will be missed... Many of us are in the age bracket where that is going to be a more and more common occurrence, as we are much nearer to the end of our races than to the beginning…

I took time to reflect and had to thank God that they had SAFE PASSAGE from here to the Other Side, and that in spite of any tears also be glad they made it across the finish line, knowing where they were going and at least a bit of what awaits them according to what has been revealed to us. Those who were left behind will hurt the most at this stage, naturally, but we do have the hope of seeing them again and picking up where we left off--I'm counting on it...

lyrics

A life has ended, a book has closed today
As someone loved by others gently slipped away
(It’s) More like a chapter has ended, a new one has begun
A next set of adventures beyond the sun

What’s loss to us is gain to those whom they now embrace
Just there beyond our eyesight, in a glorious place
They left their mark in many a heart while they walked down here
(Now) their reward is all around them, no more doubts and fears
And so

CHORUS:
Another child has made it home into the Father’s arms
Now freed from earthly troubles and all that meant them harm
Surrounded now by loved ones and more joy than they have known
(as) Another son or daughter makes it home,
Yes, another son or daughter is safely home

They tried to love, and bring comfort anywhere they were
Left things better than they found them, oh, that’s for sure
They made a difference in our lives and truly will be missed
We’ll see them in God’s time and in a better place than this,
and so

[repeat chorus]

BRIDGE:
It won’t be long, we’ll hear the call,
Pick up where we left off, as if we’d never been apart at all
Our joy will then be fuller still
than any joy we’ve known down here,
So let’s hang on until

Another child has made it home into the Father’s arms
Now free from earthly troubles and all that meant us harm
Surrounded now by dear loved ones and more joy than we have known
As another son or daughter makes it home,
Yes, another son or daughter is safely home
Another son or daughter safe at home
