Homegoing

Go Down Death, by James Weldon Joyce, read by Wintley Phipps


There are few things more glad-sad than a homegoing. A friend's mom was laid to rest today, but we know she was greeted with, "Well done, good and faithful servant." And when the service¹ tells of a life lived to love and serve Jesus, and points others to the same, that's legacy.

¹ Wintley Phipps didn't actually do the reading at the service. But there were at least three different Gaither Homecoming pieces. That's legacy, too.
