"The Lord Has Called Him Home"

"The Lord Has Called Him Home"

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

His chair is empty where he once sat

The Lord has called him home

We still have memories that are still quite fresh

And memories that are old.

I swear I hear his voice now and then

And a laugh that he lets go

I know it is only foolishness

Because the Lord has called him home

(Verse 2)

His boots still sit by the old back door

His coat still hangs on the wall

And every now and then I find myself

Expecting him to call

He left behind his wisdom

In stories he once told

Though I can't reach and touch his hand

He's with me as I grow old

(Chorus)

But I’ll hold on to the love he gave

In the lessons and the songs

I’ll see him in the morning sun

And feel him when I’m strong

Though tears may fall from time to time

I know I’m not alone

He’s resting now in peace and grace

The Lord has called him home

(Bridge)

One day I’ll walk those streets of gold

Where sorrow cannot stay

And we will laugh and talk again

Like he never went away

(Final Chorus)

So I’ll hold on to the love he gave

In the silence and the storms

I’ll see him in the stars above

And feel him when I'm worn

Though time may steal the little things

His legacy has grown

He’s safe within the Savior’s arms—

The Lord has called him home
