Homeward Bound (Funeral Song)

©2003 Michael Thomas

In Philipians 1:21 Paul said, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." 
This song is what the deceased might say to us here today.

Verse 1
All of you down there you don't know what your missing
The eternal wait of glory is far beyond all comparison
Remember what Paul said, "For me to live is Christ,
And to die is gain"

Chorus
I'm homeward bound, Oh what a joy it is
I'm finally seeing Him face to face
I see my Lord, He is waiting for me
With arms wide open, I can feel His embrace

Verse 2
Please understand I know that you miss me.
I hear you crying cause you no longer see me
Take it from someone who knows, keep your heart right with God
Cause then someday, you can come and visit me.
