Home...Love Lives Here by Gene A. Connor
Some say home is where you hang your hat, To me, home is a lot more than that. As a better point or place to start, You might say home is where you hang your heart. Many have beautiful houses for all to see. Yet, for some, their house may never a home be. Familiar places or things may please, They may give us comfort or put us at ease. But the best part of home is a love you share, And the knowledge that love lives there. There are time when we must leave the comfort of home, As the tasks and duties of life call for us to roam. Yet, however far we go, or how long we are away, We hold to the thought of going home some day. There is danger in waiting too long, loved ones to see. Time and death may leave but a memory. One of God’s great blessings to me, Is a home where we love one another as a family. Home is a place parents and siblings share. Home has your spouse and children there. Home is where Christian fellowship you share, For your family in the Church gathers there. The most wonderful love-filled home of all is yet to be, For Christ has gone ahead to prepare a place for me. The death of Christ was the price paid, my soul from sin to free, And open wide the gates of His Home in Heaven to me. When life is over and this earth I cease to roam, Christ’s sacrifice and God’s great love will lead me home. Loved ones before and after, wll that great home-coming share. For God is Love, and Love lives there.
