Home



Home

Welcome, winged one
into the place prepared for you
the home built by the upward
yearning of your heart.

Come and find your rest.

Walk the halls hallowed
by your humility
sit in these rooms made
spacious by your love
see the windows lit by the laughter
of your living.

This is home.

And now your eyes are glory filled
and now your lips sing
the praises you always knew
but couldn’t find words for
and now you touch the sacred
sandal of the One
who laughs for your homecoming.

Well done.

Our hearts echo
heaven’s cry.

And now this mansion
will fill with the joy
of you

and all eternity will know
that spark in your eyes
that brilliant laugh
that selfless way you have
of always giving,
open arms wide.
