This song written by Country Music Star Sarah Darling has to be one of the favorites for Christians. I know that it is one of mine and I love to hear it sung by Darling and Guy Penrod. It is truly inspirational and a real comfort to someone who has lost a loved one. It speaks about losing someone from this earthly life as we know it and going home to be with Jesus.
When Darling wrote the song it was in memory of her grandfather who was a tremendous influence on her life. There are many of us who have lost people around us that influenced us in many ways. Losing parents is extremely hard for most of us and the grief will never go away. Losing loved ones such as brothers, sisters, children, extended family members, and friends is hard and the hurt never seems to fade but Darling captures the essence of death in her song. For all of us that are Christian we know our home is not on this earth but in Heaven where we will be with Jesus forever and ever.
Read some of the words that Darling penned in her song and you can imagine what is happening as Jesus welcomes a new soul into Heaven.
