Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

 

To Barbara, with Love
By Franklin Price

My dearest, darling Barbara
I just wanted you to know
Though you're not here in body
I still love your spirit so

Still feel you in my heart and soul
Though God has taken you away
You're beside him up in glory,
Where there's no pain from day to day 

Christ and you are watching over me 
Helping me to move along
I go to church on every Sunday
Where I'm praising him with song

I listen to the gospel
For the messages that mend
That guide me where He wants me 
Receiving blessings that He sends

No doubt, our marriage made in Heaven
We met each other through God's grace
He gave us many years together
Now you look upon his face

I believe He sent his only son
Who died for us on the cross
You also believed in Him 
You're now in Heaven, not a loss

When my journey here on Earth is done
And God comes to welcome me
And He takes me up to Heaven
You'll be the first face that I see
