At Home In GOD's Garden

I’m at home in God’s garden,
It’s such a beautiful place.
My life no longer guarded,
My spirit free to race.

My body was a vessel,
I sailed it through the storm.
My journey has now ended,
I’ve landed in God’s arms.

God came Himself to greet me,
And put my soul to rest.
The angels sang unto me,
Your God’s eternal guest.

God laid His hand upon me,
I’ve received His gift at last.
The pain no longer with me,
My suffering now has passed.

Look not for me on Earth,
My spirit has been freed.
It dances in God’s garden,
The place He made for me.

Grieve for me this moment,
Then weep a tear of joy.
For my love for you is still,
Embraced by God’s true joy.

Look beyond tomorrow,
You must not idly stand.
For when God calls to you,
I will hold your hand.
