• By Helen Berry:
• My Father called me home
• In His very gentle way
• You’ll be very happy here He said
• And find you’ll want to stay
• He draws me to His side
• And willingly I go
• Enfolded in His arm
• Whispers that He loves me so
• My earthly life is over
• Now Heaven is my Home
• Forever for eternity
• I’ll be His very own.
