Absent from the body Present with the Lord Oh to spend eternity In the presence of His Word The light never fades Never will it dim I may have lost many But I'll see them again A strange feeling overcomes me Like a peace I've never known Though I leave earth behind I'm finally coming home Coming home I'm home Home Home I cannot fathom such glory As my name is called from up high What joy, what beautiful promise To know we will never die To all of those left behind This is the message I send It's the start of a new beginning Death is not the end Death is not the end
