Lyrics
I was there when my mother said goodbye.
She was so full of peace,
I could not cry.
I was there when my
Mother said goodbye.
She was so peace-filled,
I could not cry.
The joy in that room
Was surely heaven sent.
Tenderly, softly,
That’s when Mother went.
Mother’s home, Mother’s home,
Heaven called her home.
Home, home, home,
Mother’s finally home.
Tenderly, softly,
Jesus was calling.
That’s when my mother went
Home, home, home.
My sister and I
Sat side by side,
Holding her hands
As Mother said goodbye.
The peace on her face
Was surely heaven sent.
Tenderly, softly,
To heaven she went.
Mother’s home, Mother’s home,
Heaven called her home.
Home, home, home,
Mother’s finally home.
Tenderly, softly,
Jesus was calling.
That’s when my mother went
Home, home, home.
I thought I’d break down crying,
But peace was in the room.
It felt like heaven opened,
And love came shining through.
She wasn’t lost forever,
She had somewhere to go.
Jesus called her gently,
And Mother made it home.
Mother’s home, Mother’s home,
Heaven called her home.
Home, home, home,
Mother’s finally home.
Tenderly, softly,
Jesus was calling.
That’s when my mother went
Home, home, home.
Home, home, home,
Jesus is calling us home.
Home, home, home,
Heaven is our real home.
Home, home, home,
Jesus is calling us home.
Home where I’ll see her
One fine day,
When tenderly, softly,
Jesus comes calling.
Calling me to come home,
Come home, come home.
Heaven is our real home,
Mother’s already home.
Mother’s home.
Mother’s home.
Mother’s finally home.
