In Remembrance

Feeling rather down that we can't make it to the celebration of Snooky's passing and singing with all of you praises to our God for taking a humble child of God home. I opened up the Black Book and this song came jumping out: 1. O, how indeed is there our home In Heaven ever fair. 'Tis there we children yearn to go, And be released from care. Here sinful body troubles us, And sorrow it oppresses us, But Jesus still the living road will take His children home. 2. O, children who belong to God, How art thou ever dear, By power of Lord Jesus' blood, How ready even here. To go away from fleeting time, And leave this mortal frame behind, And enter heaven's loveliness, To carol praises there. 3. To dearest Bridegroom of the blood With mercy on our souls. He made the sacrifice for us And let His lifeblood flow. Our wedding raiment He prepared, And cleansed it snowy white and fair, By washing it in His own blood, As on the cross He hung. 4. So that down here we children can Already be secure. When Bridegroom's robe on us we have, We then are clean and pure. His Holy Spirit as a gift, He pledged Himself to us with it, So that as children of our God, Now Heaven's heirs we are. 5. To children when at home above are given their bequest, And when the crown so glorious, Upon their heads is pressed, So everyone will have a crown And wear a shining wedding gown, While looking on her Bridegroom's face, Eternally rejoice. We shall meet again in a better place.........Jumalan Rauhaan to you all!

In Jesus arms secure and blest.
