Grandpa

Grandpa Dalene Deale The heavens rejoiced and our family cried This morning when my grandfather died But as these tears roll down my face Dear Lord, I pray for your comforting embrace Take my family by the hand And reassure them he’s gone to the Promised Land A stronger rock, I have not known It’s through his love that our family has grown Closer to God in every way And I know God is proud of him today I know the Father opened his arms And welcomed home one of His beloved sons And as difficult as for us it might be We give thanks for his time given to us by Thee.
