An original hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Kathryn W. Hales below:
There is a place
we all yearn for,
No matter where
our paths may roam,
That spot on earth
like no other,
That special place
that we call home.
It symbolizes hope
and comfort,
Be it humble,
small, or grand,
The center of our
heartfelt longings;
It seems the best
in all the land.
Now let that
longing extend upward
To our Fathers
Heavenly home,
Where we came from
before our birth,
And may return to,
though far we roam.
An inner yearning
fills our bosoms,
To find that
peaceful, holy place,
Where parental
arms will encircle
In a welcoming
embrace
