His Messenger

When all my days have faded
Into my children's memory,
May they recall I loved the Lord
And tried his messenger to be.

Let them remember words I said
To guide them safely on their way.
Please give me words of wisdom Lord,
That will survive beyond my day,

Words that will a beacon be
For loved ones coming after me.
