A silent prayer was spoken – A gentle life grew dim. So many hearts were broken – As you hurried home to Him. A song, a word, reflecting – Your kindness and your light. God will forever be protecting – Love that made you so right. A hope that we’ll see you soon – Beyond the moonlit skies, Where believers hearts will swoon – As mourners weep and agonize. A life you lived, so true – To Jesus, the way, truth and life. We’ll forever admire you, The man who understood His sacrifice. A heart who will always be missed – Preacher, father and friend, I know Jesus’ face you have kissed – And on His grace we can all depend. A moment and you were gone – But, we all know where you are! You were someone we could count on – But now you’re like the morning star. A longing for you we all know – But, today, we’re praising God’s Son, Because it’s to Him we owe – Our soul - when this race is won. A time comes for each of us to go – Be it sooner or later, All that matters is who we know – And, I’m sure you knew the Creator! I’m thankful that I came to know you– I’ll always remember your love. You helped so many to break through – As you sent prayers to heaven above. Cecil Hensley was more than a preacher. He was more than a father and friend. He was the most beautiful teacher – And he taught us to love without end!
