I'll drop the disclaimer right now that this song is overtly Christian, and now for the story....

This song was written for my mother. She had been ill. The idea had been persistently in my thoughts after I had a dream about her one night. She never got to hear it. A week and a half after that dream I was summoned home and arrived barely in time to say goodbye at her bedside. My sister was wiping her forehead with a cool cloth, and I was holding Mom's hand when she passed peacefully beyond the veil. I played the song at her funeral. I hope she liked it.
