Published on May 10, 2008 The Showdown - Laid To Rest Lyrics: Laid to rest The burdens of battle and time run their course and he falls In the charge of the angels Through the veil over Jordan and home Rise up and meet your father Joyous at the return of his son And the world and its troubles mean nothing Only comfort and rest in his arms What was left A skin naught but scars life spent waging a war for a King he'd yet to see How sweet now his rest Clothed in splendor and joy in the presence of God how he sings Rise up and meet your father Joyous at the return of his son And the world and its troubles mean nothing Only comfort and rest in his arms I long to see your face I long to be at rest I long to end this war I long for you to take me home I long to see your face I long to be at rest I long to end this war I long for you to take me home Rise up and meet your father Joyous at the return of his son And the world and its troubles mean nothing Only comfort and rest in his arms I long to see your face (Rise up and meet your father) I long to be at rest (Joyous at the return of his son) I long to end this war (And the world and its troubles mean nothing) I long for you to take me home (Only comfort and rest in his) I long to see your face (arms) I long to be at rest (Only comfort and rest in his) I long to end this war (arms) I long for you to take me home
