A Favorite!!

I am sure you all have had that moment when you hear, maybe a moving piano piece, or an emotional speech, when that sudden chill runs down your back and goosebumps rise up, sending a shiver, that might even make your heart skip a beat.  That moment when you are in such awe, and sometimes tears fill your eyes, and you are thrilled in a way, and it causes you to sit back and really think.  
I say all that to say that moment happened to me in my church Sunday night when a group got up and sang "Finally Home".  The words are so gripping, and visual.  The chorus is personally my favorite! 

(Verse 1)
"When engulfed by the terror
Of tempestuous sea
Unknown waves before you roll
At the end of doubt and peril is eternity
Though fear and conflict seize your soul 

(Verse 2)
When surrounded by the blackness
Of the darkest night
O how lonely death can be
At the end of this long tunnel
Is a shining light
For death is swallowed up in victory

(Chorus)But just think of stepping on shore
And finding it heaven
Of touching a hand and finding it God's
Of breathing new air and finding it celestial
Of waking up in glory and finding it home
