You're At Peace In His Love

(Cello Introduction)

(Verse 1)
I recall the day
Jesus called you home,
And He set you free from all the hurt and pain.
Now you live with Him
In joy that never ends,
And one day I know I'll join you there
And see you once again.

(Chorus)
Though for now you're gone,
It is just a little while,
Till the Lord gathers all up above.
As I think of you now,
There is comfort and a smile;
You're at peace in His love.

(Verse 2)
When you left that day,
We had to wonder why --
Still so many things we do not understand.
But we trust in God
Who makes our lives complete
And by faith we carry onward,
For our lives are in His hand.

(Repeat Chorus)
Though for now you're gone,
It is just a little while,
Till the Lord gathers all up above.
As I think of you now,
There is comfort and a smile;
You're at peace in His love.

(Verse 3)
With the angels you sing
In your new-found home,
To the One who will dry every tear.
One day we will join
The chorus up above.
We shall all be reunited,
And the night shall disappear!

(Repeat Chorus Two Times)
Though for now you're gone,
It is just a little while,
Till the Lord gathers all up above.
As I think of you now,
There is comfort and a smile;
You're at peace in His love.

(Ending)
You're at peace in His love.

I came upon this song shortly after losing our beautiful 12 day old baby niece, Kaylyn Grace. I played and sang this song over and over, with tears in my eyes, sometimes sobbing, as the words were such a comfort, but also a reminder - with Christ we have hope, and our separation is just for a little while. Thank you. Lisa, - Kaylyn's "Tante Lisa" 2010-05-04

Thank you for putting such beautiful words to tune Mary (mary_leong_in_AT_hotmail_DOT_com) 2009-01-28

I lost my brother last August. After more than 2.5 years of fighting cancer, he died. When looking for something for the funeral we accidently heard the music of this beautiful song. We agreed to use this music for the funeral, even more when we read the words! This song has been and still is a great encouragement for me. Annemieke 2008-03-06
My grandmother died this evening, peacefully and with my mom and others at her side; this song will be sung at her funeral by my mom's request. I am thankful that this song has been a comfort to others, as it now is to me and my family.  Larry Holder 2008-03-06
I lost my darling fiance in May 2005 and knowing he's gone to be with the Lord eases the pain but this song explains it right good as to what Tom is doing in Heaaven Carol (mrsdoubtfire831_AT_aol_DOT_com) 2007-12-28
This year I lost my husband and after a month I lost my one of sisters too. I couldn't bear the pain of loosing them. But this song has made me strong and I know Dear Jesus will ease the pain for me and my children. Thank you . "D" 2007-12-10

I lost my father last year suddenly and I asked God many times why. For a long time, I felt really lost, but this song has really given me hope again. True, I still don't know why my father died suddenly, but I know that I will see him again and that is a sure thing. Thank you for sharing this song with us, you have blessed me so much.

I love this song. I had been searching for hours for the perfect song for a friend of mine's daughter's funeral. I knew I had the "right song" when I saw who it was written for - For Amy. My friend's daughter's name is Amy. So a couple of us are going to sing it at her Memorial Service. Thank you so much for making it available. One question: I printed out the sheet music and we seem to have a change of key from Page 1 to Page 2... I was trying to figure out some harmony and am trying to transpose it in my head as I go, and we'll get it, I'm sure, but for future folks, maybe you could check it out and put up the music all in the same key? Thank you again for one of the most beautiful, uplifting songs I've ever heard. It will be perfect for my friend - her daughter was only 30. Jan Swearingen (OBAR13_AT_aol_DOT_com) 2007-07-24
I love this song. I lost my wife to brain cancer in 1998 and I've always wanted to sing this in church as a testimony. My problem is that I can't hit some of the high notes. Is there any way to drop down a step or two? I've used this site for years, I think I have most of your CDs. I praise the Lord for your ministry.
