Mark Bishop - When A Christian Goes Home Lyrics

Verse 1
Everyone gathered close to the beside,
As the one that they loved slipped away.
And no words of comfort could heal that hurting inside.
Oh, but just beyond our sight, in the presence of God's light,
Jesus is giving a tour.
And the place they've dreamed of so long, oh, it's finally real

Chorus
When a Christian goes home, in the arms of Jesus,
Though it seems so unkind to those left behind,
It's a beautiful day.
When a Christian goes home, I can almost hear singing,
From around the throne...
When a Christian goes home.

Verse 2
The life of a Christian, is filled with great blessing,
For grace has covered their days.
All heaven is watching to make sure that they make it home.
Your progress is charted. Adjustments are made.
And the heartaches are balanced with joy.
And the valleys we walk through are just valleys on the way home.
