Jerome

[Verse 1]
Sunday light comes through the window
The kitchen's quiet, the table's set
There's a chair that holds a memory
And a laugh I won't forget
Lord, You lent me something precious
When You placed my boy in my arms

[Chorus]
Rest easy now, Jerome, rest easy
Lay your burdens at His feet
The joy you gave still fills this house
Your laughter makes our sorrow sweet
Grace carried you, and grace will hold us
Till the morning when we meet

[Verse 2]
You could turn a plain old Tuesday
Into stories we'd retell
Kept us laughing, kept us knowing
Every bit of news as well
Every niece and every nephew
Knew how deeply you would care

[Chorus]
Rest easy now, Jerome, rest easy
Lay your burdens at His feet
The joy you gave still fills this house
Your laughter makes our sorrow sweet
Grace carried you, and grace will hold us
Till the morning when we meet

[Bridge]
You were strength when we were weary
You were comfort in the storm
Now the Father holds you closer
In His arms so safe and warm

[Verse 3]
I will keep your jokes like treasure
Tell them softly when I pray
Every kindness that you planted
Keeps on blooming every day
And I hear heaven laughing louder
Since my son went home to stay

[Chorus]
Rest easy now, Jerome, rest easy
You have finished well your race
The joy you gave still fills this house
Your laughter lingers in this place
Grace carried you, and grace will hold us
Till we see you face to face

[Outro]
Rest easy, my son
Your work on earth is done
Sing with the angels now
Till we all come home
