It’s Good to be Home on Christmas Day
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The storms in life just come to pass
Until we find we’re home at last
And in that place, we’ll find real joy
Like little girls and little boys
The joy they have on Christmas day
As all their gifts lay in a ray
Of Light that shines from on that tree
A Light that is for all to see
And in His presence their faces glow
Just like the sun with sweet rainbows
They live now with the Son of Man
No one can snatch them from His hand
God is so very good to us!
