Laid to rest

The burdens of battle and time run their course and he falls

In the charge of the angels

Through the veil over Jordan and home



Rise up and meet your father

Joyous at the return of his son

And the world and its troubles mean nothing

Only comfort and rest in his arms



What was left

A skin naught but scars life spent waging a war for a King he'd yet to see

How sweet now his rest

Clothed in splendor and joy in the presence of God how he sings



Rise up and meet your father

Joyous at the return of his son

And the world and its troubles mean nothing

Only comfort and rest in his arms



I long to see your face

I long to be at rest

I long to end this war

I long for you to take me home

I long to see your face

I long to be at rest

I long to end this war

I long for you to take me home



Rise up and meet your father

Joyous at the return of his son

And the world and its troubles mean nothing

Only comfort and rest in his arms



I long to see your face (Rise up and meet your father)

I long to be at rest (Joyous at the return of his son)

I long to end this war (And the world and its troubles mean nothing)

I long for you to take me home (Only comfort and rest in his)

I long to see your face (arms)

I long to be at rest (Only comfort and rest in his)

I long to end this war (arms)

I long for you to take me home
