“ Our Home is Just Beyond ” ~ H. Tom Milam, Missionary Evangelist

“Our Home is Just Beyond”

 Just beyond the veil of tears,

Just beyond the sadness of years,

Just beyond the sorrows of grieving,

Lies our hopes of glad receiving

Just beyond the broken dreams,

Lives that are filled with things and schemes,

Just beyond, lies deaths dark domain,

Getting to it has left scars and pain,

All of those that have left before us-

Cheer us on-” It’s heaven you’ll gain!”

He died and arose, we tell it with fondness,

We’re not afraid, while looking for home,

Because it lies, just beyond us.
