FOR FRIENDS
I pray for my friends, for my very dear friends
Whose memory I revere
I ask you Lord to be kind to them now
Who were always kind to me here
Please grant them Lord, a place of light
A place of peace and rest
A place where saints ring out their praise
A place among the blessed
Where sorrows sweeten into joy
Where tears are wiped away
Where everything becomes as new
For this, dear Lord, I pray
And is it too much, Lord, to ask
That I may join them there
That I, too, may rejoice with you
And in your glory share?
Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.
