Finally Home (song series)


It is with a mournful and rejoicing heart that I post today's song.  It is about infant loss.  Over the last few years I have been close to a handful of dear friends that have lost their precious babies. Some passed in the womb, and some had witnessed the light of day.  Many of my loved ones continue to ache over their lost children and I ache with them.  I have never experienced first hand the pain they feel but I truly mourn with them.  I had to process my feelings as well and the way I do that is through writing.  So I put pen to the paper.  I have shared with many friends this song in hopes that it may bring about some comfort and healing.  If anyone is reading this now that has experienced or knows someone who is hurting from a loss whether miscarriage, stillbirth, or death of a baby or child – please share this.  

If only I can be an encouragement just for the moment.

"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."
Psalm 139:13-16






Finally Home
Becki J Buescher
  
A soul that aches, a heart that breaks
A little life redeemed 
before we were ready to say goodbye
We may never know why God called you home
But will find comfort resting in His perfect peace

A new worshipper joins Glory today
Fully healed with lungs abounding with praise
Resting secure in the arms of Jesus
His child is finally home

We mourn memories that will never come to be
And the moments we long to hold you once again
Be still and know, God is still in control
And in time He will wipe away each tear from our eyes

What a day it will be
When God’s face we shall see
In all Glory and Holiness
We will worship by your side with the angels we will cry
Holy Holy Holy is The Lord most high
