You Were Annointed
by Barbara Philbrook

You were anointed and presented to God for His grace.
You could not be here so I stood in your place.

Everyone prayed and offered you to the Lord above.
We asked especially you know of His love.

We sought a miracle to take place in your health.
We sought your salvation and a blessing of wealth.

We know as we pray it must be according to God's will.
We all prayed that God be in charge still.

We asked you see God and His great love,
and that if you can't have health that you be with God above.

We asked for an angel to escort you home.
We do not wish you to go on alone.

We asked for peace to all those you love,
and that they each know you will be with God above.

We asked their sorrow be short and mild,
because they know they too will join you in awhile.

All to be together for eternity,
praising God forever for what He did so lovingly.
