Divine Embrace

Neeno combs her hair and checks her make-up

In the mirror of the closet door

Others wouldn't face this day with gladness

But for Neeno it is not a chore

She's headed down to Tupelo

She's found a treasure in that place

And though she knows her grandad's growing old

A voice within says it's OK

In the divine embrace

Sleeping in the chair amidst the pillows and the children

He is quite a sight

But like the golden dawn he wakes

And manages a smile that fills the room with light

And we are all at once made rich

We see the Saviour in his face

He has lived a life of godliness

And soon he must complete his race

In the divine embrace

The sights and sounds that bless this home

Fill our hearts with grace

It's easy here to feel the arms

Of God's divine embrace

Sleeping in the chair amidst the pillows and the children

He is quite a sight

But like the golden dawn he wakes

And manages a smile that fills the room with light

And we are all at once made rich

We see the Saviour in his face

He has lived a life of godliness

And soon he must complete his race

In the divine embrace
