Goodbye
I know I'm getting on in years
Not many mornings left to go
I don't take any day for granted
Each is a precious gift, I know
But when another falls to shadows
It's time to grieve with those they've known
This plague has made it even harder
We bear our sadness so alone!
Chorus:
For Paradise awaits
All who sleep in You
One day we all will wake
Remade and named anew
But now we mourn,
So give us, Lord,
A chance to laugh and cry
To gather with Your people
And simply say goodbye
Psalm 16
Chorus:
Save me, O God, You are my refuge,
My only good: You are my Lord.
With You I find the living pathway,
Joy and pleasures forevermore
Godly people spread out over all the world
They are the noble ones who put my spirit at ease
Chasers of idols multiply their sorrows and pain
I’ll never worship or name the idol deities
Glory, Hallelujah
When our time on Earth is over, and we say goodbye to this life
We'll wake up to meet our Maker and receive our reward
In an instant of perfect vision, we'll see where we wasted our time
In all that we built without waiting on the Lord
Chorus:
Everything falls, everything fails
Except for the One whom the angels hail, crying...
Glory, glory, hallelujah
The Lord in heaven is laughing
The plans of the politicians are visions in vain
Don't put your hope in the things that won't last
Build on the One who is worthy, singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
I Have Seen Him / He’s Risen
I didn’t have to touch Him,
I didn’t have to prove;
His eyes were full of comfort,
His voice able to soothe
No one could make me think it wasn’t true,
For I have seen Him, I have seen Him.
He is your Lord, and my Lord, yes, our Lord,
And though we have not seen Him,
Still we believe; we will believe
For the prophets and Moses, they testified
To all that we have seen,
And so we believe;
We choose to believe
Cold
Waking up is the hardest part
The sound of alarm is the lead of my heart
The silence seduces me back towards sleep;
Desire to have you alive comes, so selfishly
I never thought much before
About the value of your support
The knowledge that you would hold me until I cried
I cannot call up these tears
Though I'm surrounded by so many fears
The missing of your laughter leaves me cold, so cold
