Normally I'm never much of a home body, but over the last 3 months I've been really bummed out that I'm not home. It really hit me hard today when I found out about the sudden passing of Robin. While she is not family by blood, she is someone who I say is just a part of my family as my own brother. Within the last 3 months my uncle Kevin tragicly passed away, now Robin. Needless to say this has been a rough couple of months. Being so far away from home has just sucked. I really don't have a point here, I just want to take this time to say to Kevin and Robin, I love you both so much and I can't wait to spend eternity with you in heaven.
Every time I hear this song, I'm thinking of you:
Lyrics:
Verse 1
all that is behind me, this mess of life
where out of nothing came a beautiful design (1 Corinthians 1:26-28)
know that I've had but a taste of a deathless wine (Matthew 26:27-28)
so I give up the flame to the hands beside
and I'll be waiting
Chorus
Where the desert is covered in roses (Isaiah 35:1)
where I can outshine the stars in a single day (1 John 2:25)
the face of God isn't hidden (Revelation 22:4)
when I wake into eternity (1 Corinthians 15:51-53)
where the shadows are never discovered (Revelation 22:5)
tears are nothing more than a memory (Revelation 21:4)
death isn't alive any longer (Revelation 20:14)
when I wake into eternity
verse 2
now I know I see it in your eyes
you knew at some point that we'd have to say goodbye (Hebrews 9:27)
I looked for this moment for all my life
to be caught away in the arms of God (Philippians 1:23)
and I'll be waiting
bridge
when I awake I'll see Your face
when I awake I'll see Your face (Revelation 22:4)
