IN LOVING MEMORY OF JOHN NELSON
JOHN LEFT THIS WORLD UNEXPECTANTLY
ON A HOT SUMMER'S DAY.
AN ANGEL CAME DOWN FORM HEAVEN AND SAID
"PLEASE FOLLOW ME THIS WAY."
HE LEFT US ALL HIS FAMILY & FRIENDS,
AS HE TOOK HOLD OF THE ANGELS HAND.
HE WENT TO A FAR AWAY PLACE
A MUCH MORE PEACEFUL LAND.
WHERE THERE IS NO SADNESS, NO PAIN,
NO GRIEF, NO SORROW.
WHILE ALL HIS FRIENDS HERE ON EARTH,
WONDER HOW WE'LL FACE YET ANOTHER TOMORROW.
WE ARE ALL VERY SAD
BUT WE KNOW HE HAD TO GO
WE'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT A GREAT MAN HE WAS
AND OH HOW WE'LL MISS HIM SO.
SO, HERE'S GOOD-BYE TO YOU, JOHN
A HUSBAND, A FATHER, & A GREAT FRIEND.
WE'LL HOLD YOU CLOSE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER...
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
~KELLY SWANK
I WAS WALKING HOME FROM SCHOOL ON A COLD WINTER DAY,
TOOK A SHORT CUT THROUGH THE WOODS AND I LOST MY WAY.
IT WAS GETTING LATE AND I WAS SCARED AND ALONE.
THEN A KIND OLD MAN TOOK MY HAND, AND LED ME HOME.
MOMMA COULDN'T SEE HIM, OH BUT HE WAS STANDING THERE.
I KNEW IN MY HEART, HE WAS THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS.
OH, I BELIEVE THERE ARE ANGELS AMONG US,
SENT DOWN TO US FROM SOMEWHERE UP ABOVE,
THEY COME TO YOU AND ME INOUR DARKEST HOURS
TO SHOW US HOW TO LIVE, TO TEACH US HOW TO GIVE,
TO GUIDE US WITH A LIGHT OF LOVE.
WHEN LIFE HELD TROUBLED TIMES AND HAD ME DOWN ON MY KNEES,
THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN SOMEONE TO COME ALONG AND COMFORT ME.
A KIND WORD FROM A STRANGER TO LEND A HELPING HAND,
A PHONE CALL FROM A FRIEND JUST TO SAY "I UNDERSTAND."
AIN'T IT KINDA FUNNY AT THE DARK END OF THE ROAD,
SOMEONE LIGHTS THE WAY WITH A SINGLE RAY OF HOPE.
THEY WEAR SO MANY FACES, SHOW UP IN THE STRANGEST PLACES,
GRACE US WITH THEIR MERCIES, IN OUR TIME OF NEED.
OH, I BELIEVE THERE ARE ANGELS AMONG US, SENT DOWN TO US,
FROM SOMEWHERE UP ABOVE, THEY COME TO YOU AND ME IN OUR DARKEST
HOURS TO SHOW US HOW TO LIVE, TO TEACH US HOW TO GIVE, TO GUIDE US WITH A LIGHT OF LOVE ~ANGELS AMONG US`SANG BY ALABAMA PREV PAGE 8 |
