MP3: Until You Get Home

Until You Get Home

On April 24, 2012, my friend, Stephen,
lost his daughter suddenly. Since that day
I have talked with him a few times concerning
the grief he still feels (and,
indeed, his entire family). Charity Hope
was a brand new mom. She left a husband
and baby boy here on earth. A beautiful girl,
she touched many lives, but as her
dad says, “I know she’s in heaven but
she’s not here with me.” This song came
as I thought about this after seeing Stephen
in Washington, D.C. and hearing him express
his sorrow. Unable to shake that feeling of
unbearable sorrow from my mind, I felt the
Lord singing over my brother. As a dad,I would
want to know how my child was doing...and this
song is a bit of a glimpse into the heavenly
realm. I asked Stephen if he would mind me
sharing it with you. He told me to go for it. My
prayer is that it would help someone else in
their mourning process - that it would comfort
someone out there beyond my piano.
