went home to be with the Lord vs went home to our Creator

Both phrases are correct and commonly used in English to express the idea that someone has passed away. They are interchangeable and convey the same sentiment of the deceased person moving on to a spiritual realm. Your choice between them depends mainly on which one is more appropriate in terms of your own faith and the faith of those who are receiving your message.
