As We Lay Him to Rest...

I feel a great emptyness in my heart today,

For God has called my father and taken him away.

They say he is just resting and I know this must surely be true,

but about this sadness in my heart, God, what should I do?

I know you have taken away all his suffering and pain,

but now in my heart, all these things still remain.

I never told him enough, how much I loved him

and I thought he was the best,

but now it's too late, as we lay him to rest.

Promises of a Better Life

From rags to riches it has been foretold,
We'll have treasures more valuable than silver or gold.
Peace will replace war and strife;
These are the promises of a better life.

In loving memory of my father
