Those We Love Must Someday Pass – Verse 196

Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight...
Must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light.
But we know that like a candle their lovely light will surely shine
to brighten up another place more perfect... more divine.
And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright.
Our loved ones live forevermore in God’s eternal light.

May the road rise up to meet you – Verse 161

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And rains fall softly upon your fields.
And until we meet again
May the Good Lord hold you
In the palm of His hand.

Others were taken yes I know – Verse 162

Others were taken yes I know,
But you were mine I loved you so,
A prayer, a tear till the end of time,
For a loving husband I was proud to call mine.

I said a prayer for you today – Verse 167

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard;
I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word.
I didn’t ask for wealth or fame,
I knew you wouldn’t mind,
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more loving kind.
I asked that He’d be near you
At the start of each new day,
To grant you health and blessings And friends to share the way.
I asked for happiness for you,
In all things great and small
But it was for His loving care
I prayed for most of all.

Our hands reached across the sea – Verse 168

Our hands reached across the sea,
And through the moonlit skies,
We calmed the raging seas at last,
With our gentle sighs.
No more pain or misery ,
Our lives torn apart,
You brought me to your world with you,
To mend my broken heart.
You whispered in my ear to come,
I could not ignore your call,
I gave to you myself that night,
I gave to you my all.
Good bye to friends and Family ,
Do not mourn us now,
For we are free among the stars,
We take our final bow .
As gentle breeze and memory,
We caress all who touched our lives,
With God's prayer, love and tranquillity,
We look down with loving eyes.

Lay Your Hands – Verse 170

You were sent to free the broken hearted,
You were sent to give sight to the blind.
You desire to heal all our illness.
Lay your hands, gently lay
your hands.

Lay your hands gently upon us,
Let their touch render
your peace,
Let them bring your forgiveness and healing
Lay your hands, gently lay
your hands.

Lord, we come to you through one another,
Lord we come to you in all
our need.
Lord, we come to you
seeking wholeness.
Lay your hands gently, lay
your hands.

When through one person a little more love – Verse 173

When through one person a little more love and goodness, a little more light and truth come into the world, that person's life has had meaning.

We give thanks to the Lord for every remembrance of them, for the friendship and peace they brought, and for the love they held in their hearts..

Lord, with affectionate remembrance, pour out your blessings and give strength to their Family, and comfort those who loved them and have been parted from them.

Think – Verse 175

Think
Of stepping on the shore
and finding it heaven;
Of taking hold of a hand
and finding it God’s hand;
Of breathing a new air
and finding it celestial air;
Of feeling invigorated
and finding it immortality;
Of passing from storm
and tempest to an unknown calm;
Of waking - and finding you’re Home.
