Lay Funeral Laid To Rest-
in a gathering full of strangers friends and family
alliances are seldom celebrated
as lay minister stands over your casket
preaching your eulogy
telling your story
telling of your life and of your future Glory
Verbally celebrating your life
Not reassuring the gathering of your reuniting with Christ
Six strong man carry you from the hearse to the grave
lay funeral
Persons come from foreign air some crying some friends some dear
lay funeral
Stardust shrine Moon yet rise
Tears of mourners tears and eyes
While in the professional walk people whisper and talk
He was a pleasant soul and now he's gone
Laid to rest
He lived his life as his life was a test
And he passed
He's past through this life once
Now he is at rest
Asleep here on Earth yet awaken in heaven
For you see he is not dead
He is just at rest asleep as a bird in his nest
So alas
Lay funeral
Is so now laid to rest
For in truths I am alive, alive in Christ
Amen
Amen
