God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering.
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

I'll Fly Away- Albert E. Brumley- ccu #2656119
Some glad morning when this life is over I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, 0 glory! I'll fly away!
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have gone, I'll fly away.
Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, 0 glory! I'll fly away!
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away.
Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away;
To a land where joys shall never end, I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, 0 glory! I'll fly away!
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away.
This Little Light of Mine- by Harry Dixon Loes
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine (3x).
Let it shine, let it shine, let it sHine.
All around the neighborhood, I'm going to let it shine (3x).
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel? No! I'm going to let it shine (3x).
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Don't let Satan [blow] it out! I'm going to let it shine (3x).
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

No More Night- Words by Walt Harrah -c. 1983- CCLI #2656119
The timeless theme, Earth and Heaven will pass away
It's not a dream, God will make all things new that day
Gone is the curse from which I stumbled and fell
Evil is banished to eternal hell
No more night, no more pain - No more t ears, never crying again
And praises to the great, "I AM" -We will live in the light of th e risen Lamb
See all around, now the nations bow down to sing
The only sound is the praises to Christ, our King
Slowly the names from the book are read
I know the King, so there's no need to dread
Meditation

A Time to Remember
Revelation 2 7: 7-7, 22: 7-5
See over there, there's a mansion, Oh, that's prepared just for me
Where I will live with my Savi or eternally
