Story behind the song
This song is a tribute to the life, heart, and ministry of Pastor Bob Thomas. When Bob passed away, it was heavy upon me to write "something". As the song came to life, I was able to base it upon my own true life experience and depict within that moment, the man Bob Thomas was. I hope and pray I have made him proud.
Lyrics
Verse 1
The eulogy was read today, a real good friend has gone away
Gone to meet the one he lived his life to see
He’ll walk through heaven’s gates and behold the king of kings
From the pulpit a warrior for the cross
He gave his life to God to reach out to the lost
Don’t you cry because he hasn’t said goodbye
He’s gone home
(Chorus)
He’s gone home to be with Jesus
He’s gone home to meet his king
He’s waiting there to greet us
At his savior’s feet
His pain is gone and I know he’s not alone
As he kneels before God’s throne
This is what he shared, and I can’t wait to see him there
He’s gone home
Verse 2
I never will forget the day, I walked in and needed him to pray
He put my mind at ease as he took me by the hand
He said son I’ve been there too, so I’d know he understands
Then he said the road your on seems empty dark and long
But still you’re not alone
I am here today, because he has shown the way
He’s gone home
(Repeat Chorus)
