You're At Peace In His LoveBy Elton Smith and Larry HolderCCLI Number: 2909761
Two ladies in the Dallas area wrote asking for a song. The first one, Carolyn, had a granddaughter,
Amy Robinson, who was
murdered. The second one, Nancy, has created an organization called Crusade For Compassion to help families
deal with these tragedies. This song is dedicated to Amy. Just before we finished this song, a gunman
entered a Baptist church in nearby Fort Worth and killed several people. Larry and I extend our sympathies
to those families also.
- Elton, September 17, 1999

(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. Copyright © 1999 Elton Smith and Larry Holder ![]() This song has been displayed 78650 times. This is the mobile version of Songs of Praise.

I discovered this song shortly after Elton and you copyrighted it. It touched me deeply when I first heard it and then sang it as a duet at my mother's funeral 11 years ago. I recently shared it with a friend who is planning to use it at his mother's funeral. My deepest thanks to you and to Elton for offering this wonderful gift.
