I wrote this song for my little David, my special buddy when his parents held him as he went to be with Jesus a few years ago. The pain from that day is still as fresh on my heart as on the day I heard he had gone home. May heart aches for the Wegner family, as they feel the empty spot that Jonathan left behind.
Safely home, forever free:
Walking with Jesus, eternally
You lived your life, just as God planned
Throughout the whole time you were in His hands
Little one, precious lamb
Safely in the Shepherd's holy land.
Resting with Jesus,
in His arms you are safe from all sorrow and pain.
Safely home, forever free:
Walking with Jesus, eternally
You lived your life, just as God planned
Throughout the whole time you were in His hands
I cherished the treasure of your life,
the gift of your smile, that made all seem right:
The first time I held you, in my arms it was if I'd been
given the world.
Safely home, forever free:
Walking with Jesus, eternally
You lived your life, just as God planned
Throughout the whole time you were in His hands
One more child has gone to Jesus,
One more lamb tucked within the fold,
One more voice joins the angels choir,
Sing 'round the Father's throne.
Walking with Jesus, eternally

Welcome home little Jonathan, We love you so much, and we can't wait to see you again :)
~Love,
