Taken Home in the Skies

Verse 1

I walked through storms I never chose,

Life bent me low, but I never broke.

Every time the ground gave way beneath my feet,

Your love stood tall and carried me.

When days were heavy, nights felt long,

You were my strength, my reason on.

Because of you, my life was true,

Every breath had meaning too.

Chorus

So don’t you cry, don’t hold the pain,

I lived my life, I loved, I gave.

I’m rising now, I’m finally free,

Going where my soul can be.

This isn’t the end, it’s a brand-new start,

I live forever in your hearts.

Lift your eyes, rejoice and see,

I’m taken home in the skies, in peace.

Verse 2

To my wife, my love, my guiding light,

You made my wrong days turn out right.

To my children, my pride, my song,

You were my “why” my whole life long.

When the world pushed hard, when I fell down,

You lifted me without a sound.

Every laugh, each tear we shared,

Proved this life was more than fair.

Chorus

So don’t you cry, don’t hold the pain,

I lived my life, I loved, I gave.

I’m rising now, I’m finally free,

Going where my soul can be.

This isn’t the end, it’s a brand-new start,

I live forever in your hearts.

Lift your eyes, rejoice and see,

I’m taken home in the skies, in peace.

Verse 3

If I ever hurt you, said the wrong thing,

Please forgive me, let love win.

I forgive all who caused me pain,

No heavy chains, no blame remains.

My time was set, my race was run,

I gave my all, I left no love undone.

Be thankful I was here this while,

I came, I lived, I left a smile.

Bridge

Don’t see this moment as goodbye,

Just see me learning how to fly.

I’m closer now than I’ve ever been,

Wrapped in light, I’ve gone within.

Final Chorus / Outro

So stand in joy, not in despair,

I’m healed, I’m whole, I’m everywhere.

Remember me with grateful praise,

I was meant for these earthly days.

My work is done, my heart is free,

This was my time, my destiny.

Until we meet beyond the blue,

Live full, live strong — I live in you.
