I am deeply saddened at the passing of a tremendously blessed and gifted musician, pianist, Roger Bennett.

I will greatly miss his marvelous gift and ability to share gospel truths, encouraging words, laughs and… hope in sorrow.   I will miss his integral part of the beautiful dynamic of Legacy 5.  I will miss anticipating and attending the music concerts of Legacy 5.  What a blessing it is to have most all their CD’s… the music is tremendously inspiring.  I love that he wrote of his journey and trials in his Midnight Meditations.

I love that he walked with God – that he trusted Him through the highest and lowest points of his life.  I love that he had a fabulous sense of humour.  I love that he was compassionate and considerate of others despite his own painful condition.  I love that he used the gifting of the LORD to bless others and that the legacy of his life will play on… One of my favourite songs he sand was: Home Free, a Wayne Watson song.  So today, I’m remembering Roger Bennett… finally:  ultimately healed and: Home free!

Home Free
Wayne Watson

I’m trying hard not to think you unkind
But Heavenly Father
If you know my heart
Surely you can read my mind
Good people underneath the sea of grief
Some get up and walk away
Some will find ultimate relief

Chorus
Home Free, eventually
At the ultimate healing we will be Home Free
Home Free, oh I’ve got a feeling
At the ultimate healing
We will be Home Free

Out in the corridors we pray for life
A mother for her baby, A husband for his wife
Sometimes the good die young
It’s sad but true
And while we pray for one more heartbeat
The real comfort is with you

You know pain has little mercy
And suffering’s no respecter of age, of race or position
I know every prayer gets answered
But the hardest one to pray is slow to come
Oh Lord, not mine, but Thy will be done

Let it be…

Chorus
Home Free, eventually
At the ultimate healing we will be Home Free
Home Free, oh I’ve got a feeling
At the ultimate healing
We will be Home Free

Home Free, eventually
At the ultimate healing gonna be Home Free
Home Free, oh it’s more than a feeling
At the ultimate healing
Gonna be Home Free
