My dear friend is in Glory

My Friend, Lynne is in Glory. Can't imagine the wonder and awe that she is feeling instead of pain and suffering. Seeing her Saviour's face, streets of gold, breathing new air........
the song Finally Home sums it up.

Chorus 1
But just think of stepping on shore
And finding it heaven
Of touching a hand and finding it God's
Of breathing new air and finding it celestial
Of waking up in glory and finding it home

Verse 1
When engulfed by the terror
Of tempestuous sea
Unknown waves before you roll
At the end of doubt and peril is eternity
Though fear and conflict seize your soul

Verse 2
When surrounded by the blackness
Of the darkest night
O how lonely death can be
At the end of this long tunnel
Is a shining light
For death is swallowed up in victory
