SAFELY HOME - GO REST HIGH This has been some very diffucult news for me. I have cried. I have cried because I know exactly what Diana is going through. Loosing a father... there are no words to describe what it feels like. I am not good with words anyway... When my Dad passed away, Tony's sister gave me this beautiful framed poem, Safely Home, today, I want to share this poem for my dear friend Diana and a beautiful song by Vince Gill that Tony sang at his memorial. May God wrap his arms around Diana and her family during this time and comfort them. SAFELY HOME AUTHOR UNKNOWN I am home in heaven, dear ones, All's so happy, all's so bright. There's perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief are over, Every restless tossing passed. I am now at peace, forever, Safetly home in heaven at last. Did you wonder how I calmly Trod the Valley of the Shade? Oh, but Jesus' love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. There is still work waiting for you, So you must not idle stand Do your work while life remains, You shall rest in Jesus' land. When that work is completed, He will gently call you home, Oh, the rapture of the meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come. Go Rest High On That Mountain Lyrics and Sang by Vince Gill I know your life on earth was troubled and only you could know the pain. You weren't afraid to face the devil, you were no stranger to the rain. Go rest high on that mountainson, son, your work on earth is done. Go to heaven a-shoutin' love for the Father and the Son. Oh, how we cried the day you left us we gathered round your grave to grieve. I wish I could see the angels faces when they hear your sweet voice sing. Go rest high on that mountainson, son, your work on earth is done. Go to heaven a-shoutin' love for the Father and the Son.
