HIS LIFE WAS A JOURNEY


How could one person
have so much to give,
And teach us the meaning of life,
When he himself had so little time to live?

A steadfast love he possessed for the Lord
he set the bar on serving Jesus name,
He filled the church with the lives he touched
He loved all people the same.

He was always there to help a friend
For a friend truly was he
showing his faithfulness in his works
His life was a gift of love and generosity.

We cannot know why a life so precious
A life lived so well was ended.
But as the darkness of shadows fall
We can rest assured that to heaven he has ascended.

We know that he was yours dear Lord
A gift on loan to us for only a short while
But oh what a glorious gift he was
So precious and true was his smile!

Into thy hands that cradle him now
his journey on earth now is through
A life that was lived to the fullest down here,
Now in heaven and lifted up to you.

His life was a journey on earth
Today we celebrate his heavenly birth
Every journey must begin and end
And every journey's ending is a new beginning.
