The Edge of Glory

 Under the shadow of the arm of the Almighty, 
       inside the amazing love of the precious Son, 
         surrounded by the holy wind of the Spirit
now abide those who have slipped away and
        found their eternal Home now finished.  

And now those who lag behind, folks like you and me, 
     find our unsteady step is slowly quickening,
        as our eyes have seen some of what is ahead,
our heart longs no longer for here, but for there
       where those loved here have become the saints there.

What grace and mercy the Holy One gives to all of us, 
     those whose eyes are now filled with glory
       and those who only hear the sound of it
through flowing tears and unending memories.
      May God who joins us together be forever praised!
