Come Home

A young guy, who’s family is part of our church, passed away early this morning. He didn’t “lose the battle” to cancer. Death didn’t have the final word. Oh no. LIFE won – because he knew Jesus, he’s won the race, 100% healed and has Eternal Life with our Lord!

Come Home

Naomi S. Sahlstrom

I surrender,
Said the man
Not to cancer’s cruel hand;
To God’s mysterious plan

Too soon, too young, some will say
What about his dreams?
Days are numbered, time is out
Too early though it seems

For just one moment –

Death thought he had the victory
Nothing now could save…
Until his soul went UP
Not down into the grave!

Death defeated, no rejoicing
Out again to roam
Not so in heaven –
God’s child just came home!

Party, laughter, banquet feasting!

It’s all right, dear son’s mother
His mission is complete
Well he served and will continue
At his Master’s feet

Let us be, faithful servants
When death happens to us all
Our last duty here on earth:
To heed the Master’s call

Come home.
