Dear God,

     As these hearts, ailed with sadness
     Look for reasons in the dark
     Turn their loss to hope and gladness
     When to your light, lost love embarks.

     Finding peaceful rest beside you
     Is our prayer this soul will find 
     Into your arms with joy to cling to
     From pain and sorrow left behind.

     Tis but a whisper of your goodness
     That offers all that seek a home
     Forever promised in its pureness
     Null of fear to ever roam.

     Pray, we someday see the reason
     Not for them but we who wait
     That when it becomes our season
     We will not pine to meet our fate.

     Treasured love who’s gone before,
                Be at peace forever more…
