A Ongoing Mourn

A light given
A soul received 
Helping others find life in Christ
While some stole his in need
Behind leaving a family
Who's soul doesn't understand
In the mist of all this trouble
Tries hard to seek Gods hand 

Here lies a man not yet thirty
Departed by one confused and dirty
Oh God, help us show the love you give
Regardless of her murdering motive

Today you dwell with Him in Glory
While we sit, reminiscing your life's story
The Lord gives and He'll take away
But must You've taken him today

Now weary and distraught
Eyes like body, bloodshot
Reminding everyone what we're taught
This is the only life you've got
