Finally Home Piano Arrangement

Shirley Magnuson plays a favorite! "When engulfed by the terror
Of tempestuous sea
Unknown waves before you roll
At the end of doubt and peril is eternity
Though fear and conflict seize your soul (Verse 1)

(Verse 2)
When surrounded by the blackness
Of the darkest night
O how lonely death can be
At the end of this long tunnel
Is a shining light
For death is swallowed up in victory

(Chorus)But just think of stepping on shore
And finding it heaven
Of touching a hand and finding it God's
Of breathing new air and finding it celestial
Of waking up in glory and finding it home

Sing along if you can! What great mediation for the soul from Don Wyrtzen. Thanks.

The wisest man of all time, our Lord, Jesus Christ said it this way if you will allow for the traditional translation in John 14.

John 14:1-7 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

"Think on these things!" The world is getting filled with craziness, but Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday today and forever. That was my Dad's life verse and few even of those closest to him know it.

More of Mrs. Shirley Maguson's piano renditions coming soon!

Maranatha!

Is this the lady that I've seen at the Tri-State fellowships every now and then? They give an award each year with her husband's name, I believe it's Roy Magnuson?

[PilgrimRoy]

This is she. Roy Magnuson was the minister in Mayville New York and was awarded the Defender of the Faith Award posthumously. So the preachers in the region have kindly remembered him for His faithfulness to our Lord Jesus and they have kept alive the need to "fight manfully onward..." "the good fight" in this late day of apostacy and modernism with their annual award given away each August. He was my hero.

i have been searching for that song, but i was kind of hoping to hear someone sing it too. my youth paster is a baritone and the way that the song is interpreted with that tone of voice just gives me chills

[PilgrimRoy]

Well, now you know why this is one of the two songs I posted. I was so enthused my Mom had written an arrangemtent for this song. As a teenager I had a cassette tape of it and the music wedged the words deep in my heart! It is true art, where the music matches the words! I have experienced the song to some degree ... So I guess I will try and lend my voice to leading you guys here to sing - aloud, the praises of our Lord! :-) Lets not be consumers but producers for Jesus our wonderful Lord!

[joannekalver]

Today I listened to your wonderful music and cannot stop listening to this beautiful song. How wonderful to see you playing the piano. I would love to have the words to this song. I did know them, but can't remember all of them. I miss you and would love to see you.

[PilgrimRoy]

Hi Joanne... Great to hear from you!

"When engulfed by the terror

Of tempestuous sea

Unknown waves before you roll

At the end of doubt and peril is eternity

Though fear and conflict seize your soul...

The words are at the top next to the date, but you have to click on the little blue letters (more info).

Im talking to Mom on the phone!... She says to say, "My mother loves you. Are you still singing the psalms? [of the tape Mom sent]

Thanks for the inspiring comment. Grace! Roy

my choir did this song as a memorial piece for a faculty member and all of the soldiers who have passed at our school. if i can get my hands on the tape i'd be more than happy to post it for any one who wants to hear it with vocals.

[chanak80]

I LOVE this song!!! I'm in a quartet that often sings at funerals, and this song is beautiful and perfect. I can't wait until I'm Finally Home!!!

[giapts]

This piece is so anointed...so beautiful. God has beautiful (words cannot express the beauty of heaven) home awaiting those that love Him; those that chose to live for Him in the beauty of holiness.

[memperad]

I am hoping you will have this song with lyrics on YouTube. This was sang beautifully by Diana Ferree at Riverdale Baptist Church on June 3, 1985,

Mrs. Joyce Malone Sr went to heaven this morning. I had the honor of being in her church choir in Pontiac. Many, many times she would lead our choir in singing this song. And now she is reunited with her husband, Dr. Tom Malone Sr.: Finally Home!

[pjenks6668]

I would like it too. I've looked for it here on You Tube, but so far no luck.

[AcaiBunch]

My uncle has sung this song at so many funerals over the years. Even for his own siblings. I wonder, who will sing it for him at his funeral. I do not know of anyone that could do it the same justice that he has.

Makes me sad. :-(
