More about Christine Monson:
I am a pianist/composer/arranger/singer who lives in Bountiful, Utah. With a bachelor's in piano and a master's in Music Technology, I do a lot of accompanying (aka collaborating), recording, composing, arranging and publishing in many genres. Sharing sacred music is my passion, though, as it combines my testimony, my talents and gifts, and my desires to serve and help the Lord in a way that is second to nothing else I do (except being a wife and a mother to my children). I am grateful to share my testimony and gifts with you in a way that enables you to share your testimony and gifts with others to serve Him. Feel free to adapt the music yourself as you like. The Lord gives each of us inspiration. I don't own the inspiration He has given me. You are welcome to what He has given me, to use as He inspires you. If you have any thoughts, stories, or experiences with this music, I would love to hear them. We learn from sharing with each other. Music is a work always in progress for me. I work full-time as an accountant for the Church (also a passion of mine), but fully sharing the music I have composed and arranged is always in my mind. Someday I will be able to get simplified arrangements of my piano pieces and accompaniments out there (transcribing piano music is very time-consuming! I'm waiting for a really good AI tool to do it for me). For updates to this music (i.e., corrections, simplifications) or for new additions, please fill out the contact form at my website, ChristineMonsonMusic.com, subscribe to one of my Youtube channels, ChristineMonsonMusic or WeSing of Christ, or like one of these pages on Facebook. Thank you for visiting! I am grateful for this website and for its vision. All the efforts of everyone associated with this website are given in the true spirit of consecration. I'm grateful for the Lord, His gifts, and for His compensation. I have decided that when all is said and done, there is so much more good that can be done in just offering this music for free compared to the very small amount that could be made selling this music (other than when I sell physical books of music, which is still in the plans). I'm grateful for website that enables so many to share their music with others so freely and for the spirit of consecration that lives here. I hope it can continue forever!

Song background:
You can also visit the author's original page
for this piece (opens in a new window).Great song for family reunions, youth groups, or family history events!
I wrote this song after seeing a picture of an ancestor of mine that has meant a lot to me, Lydia, Osborn Hall, which was found by my husband after cleaning my mother-in-law's house out after her passing (he's also descended from Lydia). I started this song with the words of the chorus, and finished it a couple years later. Truly, those we seek out, our ancestors and others, are not just faces or names on a page. They are real people, with real stories, and real descendants like us. And what's more, they still live, waiting for us to seek them out and turn our hearts to them through Jesus Christ and His plan.
If you need the accompaniment slightly modified, let me know and I may be able to help you with a slightly different version. Keep looking! Thank you for coming!

Lyrics: Her face, looking forward, from ages past,
Watching her branches through distant halls of time.
Beyond the veil, yet family ties bring us closer than we know,
Her eternal worth, the Spirit reminds.
Chorus:
She’s not just a face, not just a name,
But eternally bound in our family chain.
With hearts turned in love, we labor to save,
So promises made…. will bring us home.
Like her, all my family who’ve come before
Bless me and our generations to come,
Our righteous lives return their gift, and bring honor their name,
Extending their legacy on.
Chorus:
Through His Son, we can each overcome,
Then with Him, for Him, reach for the one.
Turning hearts to find, in our temples we will bind,
Till each Father’s child can unlock the gate to home.
We may all come back to Him, having fought and won,
Sealed as one fam’ly, United with the Son,
So we’ll do His work, forging links of glory and love,
That eternally grow in our home up above.
Chorus
Lord, bring us home.
