A SORT OF ​HOMECOMING

And you hunger for the time
Time to heal
To every thing there is a season...
A time to be born, and a time to die...
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up... Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 KJV
No spoken words, just a scream
But Jesus, again crying out in a loud voice, yielded up his spirit. Matthew 27:50 JB
She will die and live again tonight
Jesus: ​“Anyone who believes in me, even though he dies like anyone else, shall live again.” John 11:25 TLB

Jesus: ​“Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” John 3:3 NIV

Jesus: ​“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.” Luke 9:24 NIV

Jesus: ​“Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it...” John 12:24-25 NIV
Oh, don't sorrow, no don't weep
For tonight at last I am coming home
I am coming home
Jesus: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep... and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.... I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.” John 16:20,28 KJV
