No Tears Past The Gate

Someone new has entered our eternal home above -
the heavenly gate has opened wide to welcome one you love.
We cannot help the tears that fall - our hearts need time to grieve
when earthly life has ended and a loved one has to leave.

Yet even in the saddest time, we know our Saviour lives
and we can trust completely in the promise that He gives -
that in a glad reunion with the Lord our loved ones wait
to welcome us in joy with no more tears beyond the gate!
IF ONLY
If only I could find a way,
Of coping with my grief,
If only I could do something,
To give my mind relief.

If only there was hope ahead,
Instead of deep despair,
If only I could find someone,
Who could understand and care.

If only all the skies were blue,
Instead of darkest grey,
If only I could find the strength,
To make it through each day.

If only I could have him back,
I'd feel so richly blessed,
Instead of all the pain and grief,
That has put me through this test.

Words sent by Kathy & Brian Kelly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I look at this crumbled mess
Tears spring to my eyes.
How and why is just a guess
No time for goodbyes.

My son I miss your cheery smile
Your absence makes me numb.
I tend your grave and talk awhile
Hoping you hear your grieving Mum.
