Rest In Peace

Rest in Peace
The trumpets sound, the angels sing
A loved one’s returned to the king
Tears of joy, laughter, love
Greet our loved one now above
And down below the rain keeps falling
Friends and family all are calling
Disbelief and sympathy
How could God have let this be
But God, He knows our loved ones worth
He’s known it from before their birth
And when it’s best to call them home
And claim them as His very own
So celebrate the life they led
The dreams they lived, the dreams they fed
The love they shared; may it increase
And may their souls now rest in peace
