Home in His Light
This father’s heart beats for you — my wife Melissa,
my son Lucas, my sweet Anna.
Another day has come
and gone, and I am grateful for another day with you.
Tonight, from everything this heart has
been given, I made this song for you.
Oh, the stars are looking down,
Rest now, my loves,
the day is through,
Another day I’ve had with you.
Close your eyes, you’re safe tonight,
Held in His Heart,
held in His light.
Rest now, my loves,
and peacefully be,
Remain in His love,
remain here with me.
For all that you are,
for all that you do,
Thank God for today — and thank God for you.
Anna, you will always be my sweet princess,
Your heart shows me courage in ways you may not guess.
You may not know what your little voice can do,
but today it changed a life
— and sweetheart, it was mine.
And we're turning down the lamps,
Rest now, my loves,
the day is through,
Another day I’ve had with you.
Close your eyes, you’re safe tonight,
Held in His Heart,
held in His light.
Thank God for today — and thank God for you.
Lucas… are you with me yet?
Your charisma is powerful,
matching your heart,
A brilliant light shining right from the start.
Grow strong and true,
my brave boy,
Filling our home with your strength and your joy.
We can see the moon rise high,
Rest now, my loves,
and peacefully be, Remain in His love,
remain here with me.
For all that you are,
for all that you do,
Thank God for today — and thank God for you.
My beautiful Melissa, wife of my youth and life,
My rock, my sanctuary,
through joy and through strife.
Your grace is the anchor that holds us in place,
God's love is made clear in the warmth of your face.
The house is asleep,
the night is complete,
Rest now, my loves,
the day is through,
Another day I’ve had with you.
Close your eyes, you’re safe tonight,
Held in His Heart,
held in His light.
Thank God for today
— and thank God for
you.
We thank You, Father,
for the love we share,
For sheltering our hearts within Your prayer.
Keep us united, keep us in Your sight,
And bless our family
through the quiet night.
Rest now, my loves,
and peacefully be,
Remain in His love,
remain here with me.
For all that you are,
for all that you do,
Thank God for today
— and thank God for you.
Thank You, Father, for my family.
For Anna's sweet smile,
and Lucas's brave heart,
And Melissa,
my beautiful wife.
Amen. (hummmmm)
