Story Behind The Song

Written after watching the t.v. coverage of the horrible Haiti earthquake a few years ago. Imagining that all the loved ones that died were now in Heaven was the only way I could make sense or cope with it. My dad passed on about a year later, giving the song a much more personal meaning to me.

Song Description

We wanted to keep the instrumentation minimal in the hope the message would come across stronger. Plus, I wanted to showcase Jana Peterson's beautiful vocal on it! ;-)

Lyrics

Lord, please give me some faith to believe
I need it now more than ever
Why must we suffer? My sorrow is great
I'd give up my now for never

Yesterday was a sun-kissed glorious day
Today the world came crashing down
My faith has been completely shaken
Since everything crumbled to the ground

I've been walking in darkness for days
I don't want to stay. Lord, take me away.
Though I do not understand, I'm trusting in Your plan

Heaven just became more wonderful and lovely
Heaven just gained one more beautiful voice
As we live with pain, we're sad and we're lonely
Our tears may flow, but the heavens rejoice

Lord, please give me the strength to go on
I can't make it on my own
All the love, and the prayers send hope to my heart
And slowly help me find my way back home

Been in this valley of death for days
I don't want to stay. Lord, show me the way.
Though I do not understand, I'm leaving it in Your Hands

Heaven just became more wonderful and lovely
Heaven just gained one more beautiful voice
As we live with pain, we're sad and we are lonely
Our tears may flow, but the heavens rejoice

Heaven just became more wonderful and lovely
Heaven just gained one more beautiful voice
As we begin to live and love in their memory
Heavens rejoice, the heavens rejoice

Finally home, you are finally home
And I will see you soon.
