A Place I Call Home

Hello All,

Do you dream of a sky with no more rain, a world with no more pain, and a life with no more stain?

This is another song I’ve written so you could listen to it here.

A Place I Call Home

By Joanne Liaw Sook Ling

Do you dream? Do you dream?

Of a sky with no more rain

With no more rain

Do you dream? Do you dream?

Of a day when clouds are not grey

When flowers don't wither

And streams always flow

Do you dream? Do you dream?

Of a world with no more pain

With no more pain

Do you dream? Do you dream?

Of a day when wrongs are made right

When justice trumps evil

And love conquers hate

Do you dream? Do you dream?

Of a life with no more stain

With no more stain

Do you dream? Do you dream?

Of a day when wounds are made whole

When pure joy trumps sorrows

And grace conquers fear

Do you dream? Do you dream?

Of a land with no more pain

With no more pain

Do you dream? Do you dream?

Of a day when scars are no more

When mercy brings healing

And life conquers death

There is a place I call home

In a land far, far away

There is a place I call home

I'm not there yet

I'm on my way

There is a place I call home

God will bring me there one day

Our present pain cannot compare

With the glory of our future hope

Our tears Christ dries, He knows our pain

He will bring us to our future home

Do you know? Do you know?

Of a place, you can call home

You can call home...

Points for Reflection:

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

(Romans 8:18 ESV)

·       For those of us who trust in Christ, we can look forward to such a place that we can call home. It’s a place of perfect rest and perfect relationship with God and one another. Conflict, grievances, and traumas of the past have no place in such a heavenly home.

·       In the meantime, we are not left to trudge through the daunting paths on our own. God’s Spirit dwells in us and strengthens us at the most unexpected moments.

·       God has also given us fellow Christians to remind us of God’s love and faithfulness and to share our heavy load.

·       For now, we are pilgrims on a seemingly neverending, tiring, and painful road. But we know that this life is not all there is. A glorious future awaits us.
