(In Memory of my Brother-in-law Tom)

He's closed his eyes, he's gone to sleep.
Heavenly Father I pray his soul You'll keep.

The battle's over, the struggling done.
He'll be sorely missed by everyone.

God we pray for the family all so filled with sorrow.
We pray they'll find strength till heaven's tomorrow.

Losing someone so precious and so dear,
can sometimes cloud the fact that You are near.

Making us for a time think negatively,
about what our true relationship happens to be.

Father I pray eyes will be open so all can see,
that sickness and death are not caused by Thee.

Touch each heart, help them all to feel,
that the love You offer each is complete and real.

Give them all the strength they'll need,
and when enough time has passed help them with life to proceed.

If in their pain they cry out to You,
let them know You hear and will do all You can do.

He's closed his eyes and now gone to rest.
I pray with all my heart his whole family will be blessed.
