Forever Home – Brian Free & Assurance [Live at Daywind Studios]

Bill Shivers talks about the story behind "Forever Home" "The song couldn't have come at a better time for me personally. I have a younger brother who passed away last July. He was only 28 years old, and he was 17 years younger than me. I was almost old enough to be his dad. It was a very difficult time for my family. He was a strong, healthy young man with no health issues whatsoever. He started having a pain in his side, and he got the worst news you can possibly get: that he had cancer of the liver. They gave him about a year to live. We were going through the process of choosing songs for this new album which came out earlier this year. He was going through the chemotherapy and radiation, and for anyone who has been through that with a loved one, it is a horrible thing to see someone who was so vibrant and lively and strong wither away to nothing. It was really hard. When we heard this song, it wasn't something I wanted to think about. We had people praying all around the country for God's healing, and you want to hold onto that. But we don't know God's perfect plan, only God knows. We have questions we all want to ask God when we get there. Why? God's perfect plan and perfect will is always going to be. After my brother passed, Brian asked me if I thought I could sing this song. I said I didn't know if I could. He said it has to be my song. I said okay, and we have dedicated it to my brother, Charles. The song speaks of losing a loved one. It talks about him passing away and getting to Heaven, and how he is forever home with the saints and the angels. The song really ministers to me and gives me strength in a time of sorrow and pain, just knowing he is there. One day, I'm going to be there with him again and we will reunite. Knowing that he has no more pain, no more sorrow, that's amazing." Daywind Accompaniment Tracks: https://daywind.com/accompaniment-tra...

He always spoke of Heaven Like he'd been there before He said it was the one thing That he was living for How bittersweet the moment The sunset of a life As we all cried and said our last goodbyes And watched him take his flight Forever home Living in the arms of Jesus now Standing in the shadow Of the throne he bows I can almost see him there No more tears Pain has lost its hold on him He's more alive than he's ever been He's arrived, oh, I know He's forever home Among the saints and angels He's joined the choir of praise With others who have flown there On wings of perfect grace Just like the countless millions All those who've been redeemed He casts his crowns Down at the Savior's feet As hallelujahs ring Forever home Living in the arms of Jesus now Standing in the shadow Of the throne he bows I can almost see him there No more tears Pain has lost its hold on him He's more alive than he's ever been He's arrived, oh, I know He's forever home Forever free from heartache Forever free from loss Forever free to live and breathe Because of Calvary's cross Forever free of living With all these earthly groans He's living like he's always dreamed In his forever home Forever home Living in the arms of Jesus now Standing in the shadow Of the throne he bows I can almost see him there No more tears Pain has lost its hold on him He's more alive than he's ever been He's arrived, oh, I know He's forever home (No more pain, no more tears) He's forever home (No more pain, no more tears) He's forever home #brianfree #brianfreeandassurance #gospel #southerngospel #daywind #hymn #hymns #singersongwriter
