We sat beside your bedside,
Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our duty to the end,
‘Til we could do no more.
Our Father, Who art in
heaven, hallowed be Thy
name; Thy kingdom come,
Thy Will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive
those who trespass against
us; and lead us not into
temptation; but deliver us
from evil. Amen.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning
hush, I am the uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight;
I am the soft stars that shine
at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
Verse 19
Verse 20
Verse 21
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the
LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from
his life. For each scene he noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand; one belonging to
him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before
him, he looked back at the footprints in the
sand. He noticed that many times along the
path of his life there was only one set of
footprints. He also noticed that it happened
at the very lowest and saddest times in his
life.
This really bothered him and he questioned
the LORD about it.
"LORD, you said that once I decided to
follow you,You'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, there is only
one set of footprints. I don't understand why
when I needed You most You would leave
me"
The LORD replied, 'My precious, precious
child, I love you and I would never leave
you. During your times of trial and
suffering, when you see only one set of
footprints, it was then that I carried you"
For every pain
that we must bear,
For every burden
every care,
THERE'S A REASON
For every grief
that bows the head,
For every teardrop
that is shed,
THERE'S A REASON
For every hurt,
For every plight,
For every lonely
painracked night,
THERE'S A REASON
But if we trust in God
as we should,
It all will work out
For our good,
HE, KNOWS THE REASON
Verse 22
Verse 23
In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away,
And though our hearts were breaking
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts,
That loved you most sincere.
We never shall and never will
Forget you, Mother dear.
For many years the family chain
Was closely linked together,
But oh! That chain is broken now,
The main link gone forever
The sunshine of our happy home,
Must always clouded be,
But Thou O Lord has sent this cross,
We bear it all for Thee
Pray for me,
as I will for thee,
that we may
all merrily meet
in Heaven.
St. Thomas More
