Welcome Home

Jennifer Martin

You rode your horse twenty miles in the snow
A new model T was the first car you owned
You filled pages of diaries with beautiful poems
And now you're in Heaven, this I know

You made me an afghan, you helped me to read
You taught hundreds of children, thousands of things
You moved to Fort Worth to be nearer to me
And now you're in Heaven like you said you'd be

Chorus:
Welcome home, welcome home
Now you're seeing in person what you've always known
All the angels of Heaven encircling the throne
Praising the King, who welcomes you home

You saw the wonder in all living things
From a gourd on the vine to the blue jay that sings
Oh to have witnessed how brightly you beamed
When you got to Heaven and heard your friends sing...

Chorus:

You had some hard times, some trials you faced
You walked through them all with forgiveness and grace
May we follow your footsteps and join you one day
Together in heaven, where we'll hear you say...

Final chorus:
