WELCOMING TOMB
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: DEATH IS HERE CALLING
BUT I'M NOT AFRAID
MY SPIRIT IS CLEAN
AND MY DEBTS HAVE BEEN PAID
IT'S BEEN A HARD JOURNEY
TO HERE FROM THE WOMB
NOW I'LL BE AT REST IN
THIS WELCOMING TOMB - WELCOMING TOMB

CHORUS: WELCOMING TOMB
DOORS OPEN WIDE
ANGELS ARE WAITING
TO SHOW ME INSIDE
IT'S HEAVEN IN EARTH HERE
IN COMFORTING GLOOM
I'M HOME NOW AT LAST IN
THE WELCOMING TOMB - WELCOMING TOMB

VERSE 2: THE BIRDS ARE STILL SINGING
THE SUN'S IN THE SKY
SAD IS THE HOUR
WE'RE DESTINED TO DIE
FLOWERS HEAPED O'ER ME
WERE CUT IN FULL BLOOM
THEIR FRAGRANCE HANGS OVER
MY WELCOMING TOMB - WELCOMING TOMB

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: LIKE DOWN IN THE COAL MINE
IT'S DARK AND SO DEEP
THE EARTH WRAPPED AROUND ME
PEACEFUL THE SLEEP
ASHES TO ASHES
BUT JESUS I TRUST
MY SPIRIT WILL FLY AS
MY BONES TURN TO DUST

REPEAT CHORUS
