Story behind the song
As our heart prayers reached out to touch and soothe our hurting sister and her family, the song was born out of a need to express a mother's desperate battle with grief. Greg was "quite the guy". Having a rare disability that directed he live his life is a wheelchair, with his mother and family caring for him. Loving him, ENJOYING his humor, his zest for life and living, and the courageous attitude that he faced every day with. Deb Remple and Von wrote this lyric to let Pam know "they felt her pain, and love her dearly" Pam shared her grief, so raw and real, it rocked us to the core. This is ONE STRONG LADY, and we LOVE HER DEARLY. Von had quite a hard time recording this. She cried all the way through, and we cannot tell you the number of takes it took to get each verse recorded, yet never was a verse recorded without tears. Von decided that while it was NOT the best vocal, it DID carry the heart of her love for this dear woman. Cynide Mace is performing the fulte part on this song. Thank you Cyndie, thank you SO MUCH for helping us put this song together for this awesome friend.
Lyrics
Verse One God knows the words You cannot say He knows the grief you bare With each passing day. God hears your soul Cry for your son He weeps when you Ask why he's gone. Chorus As you rest In God's embrace The tears that drop From His face Fall on you Like heaven's rain, They flood your soul, And heal your pain. Your deepest grief Will find deeper grace As you rest, as you rest, In God’s embrace. Verse Two You still hear his voice (and) Touch things he loved Oh how precious and special Your son was He was a fighter, Your buddy, and friend Now that he’s with Jesus you feel that nothing will be the same again……. Repeat Chorus Outro: Sorrow Falls, Like heaven's rain As you Rest, Healing Your Pain, As you Rest So Cry those tears They mix with His Cuz God remembers, He remembers Feeling like this As You Rest in God's embrace In God's embrace As You Rest
