God Will Take Care of You

God will take care of you—throughout the coming years,
He’ll give you strength to bear it when burdens bring you tears;
He knows about your heartache, He understands your pain,
And He will never leave you, to face your loss alone.

God will take care of you—if you will only trust,
And let Him guide your footsteps, and guard you from all dust;
He’ll give you peace and comfort, He’ll dry each falling tear,
And in His loving arms, you’ll find release from every care.

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone;
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you’re always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

When a Great Tree Falls

When a great tree falls,
The forest trembles and weeps;
For they sense the loss
Of one they loved so deep.

So when a great soul leaves,
And we're left behind alone,
The forest of our lives goes dark,
And all our light is gone.

But just as nature heals
And new trees take their place,
So too our hearts will mend
And find new strength and grace.

In Memory of a Sister

In the stillness of the morning, as the sun begins to rise,
I think of you, my sister, with tear-filled, loving eyes;
I see your smile, I hear your voice, I feel your warm embrace,
And though you're gone from sight, your memory takes its place.

You were my confidante, my friend, my guide,
You shared my joys and sorrows, you were always by my side;
Your love was like a beacon, shining through the darkest night,
And now that you're gone, my heart is filled with endless light.

Heaven

I think of Heaven as a place
Where there is no more pain or care,
Where the sun is always shining
And the flowers are always fair.

I think of Heaven as a place
Where there is no more sorrow or tears,
Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at peace.

I think of Heaven as a place
Where there is no more darkness or night,
Where the Lamb is the light
And the saints are clothed in white.

I think of Heaven as a place
Where there is no more death or pain,
Where we shall live forever
And never die again.

I think of Heaven as a place
Where we shall see our loved ones
Who have gone before us
And where we shall be reunited
For evermore.

I think of Heaven as a place
Where there is no more good-bye
But only an endless welcome
And an everlasting joy.

I think of Heaven as a place
Where we shall finally be home
And where we shall dwell in the presence of God
For all eternity.
