True Love (I Corinthians 13)

If I had the voice of angels
Resounding as a gong
I could never tell love's story
I could never sing that song
With faith that could move mountains
And a life to be admired
Without love, my vessel's empty
Nothing left to be desired
Love is kind and it is patient
And real love can never die
It won't fade like old love letters
That make a tired heart cry
Passion burns inside the soul
But fades and slips away
While love survives the strongest storms
Inside the heart to stay
No grave can hold eternal love
Love lives long after death
Inside the grieving hearts and stays
Until our final breath
In the eyes of newborn children
On the wings of heaven's doves
Few things will last forever
But none as great as love

Time To Go Home (For Daddy)

 
 
 
Your work here is over
And you've fought the good fight
You looked past the darkness
You walked in the light
You're tired and you're weary
You'll no longer roam
A son of the Father
It's time to go home
 
A shepherd to many
A father to me
Always a beacon
That shone on life's sea
A life lived for others
You've passed every test
So, lay down your burdens
It's time now to rest
 
The angels are calling
Your name in a song
Cast off any sorrow
You suffered too long
To the arms of the Father
No longer to roam
You'll live in our hearts
But it's time to go home
