Going home for eternity has been on my mind,
and what I shall savor is a surprise I now find.

I used to think when I get home there is much I'd want to forget,
but I now realize that is something I'd regret.

You see I've lived many days in agony and pain,
and once thought when I got home, I'd never want to remember that again.

But I have come to the startling conclusion,
that I was living in a mistaken illusion.

You see I have this blessing I hadn't stop to count,
I have extra reason to praise God an even greater amount.

There are people who have never had to pray,
to have the strength to get through a particular day.

There are some who have never had a day with pain in it,
who never needed God's strength to get through minute by minute.

Some who don't know what it is not to function normally,
who have never had to depend on others entirely.

What a joy to remember when we are home at last,
to be able to praise God that it is all in the past.

To be able to share with the heavenly host,
that God provided for me when I needed Him the most.

To be able to explain and convey,
how God got me through my most excruciating day.

Something not every person will be able to tell,
I know it's His praises I'll constantly want to yell.

Yes what I shall savor and praise throughout eternity,
is how how my God strengthened and cared for me.
