For One Who Loved Life

Today my friend's mom took flight
shedding herself of earthly light
to fly to that place lit by the One who sits on the Throne
Forever in His Presence, Finally Home!

As she was lingering betwixt here and there
bathed in His glory and our love and prayers
This song arose within my soul...
A worship of the One who truly makes us whole

A song of worship to the Giver of Life
in Whom there is no darkness, cruelty or strife
Who came and died and rose again
to rescue man from death and sin

Father of Lights, He Alone is God
To be Happy, with Him we must Trod
He gives good gifts for HE loves us so!
He gave us Jesus so we would always know...

That He carries us close to His Heart
and Paid the cost so we never have to be apart
And when to our loved ones we must say "goodbye"
It is straight to His arms that each can fly.

For In HIM We Live and have our Being
In HIM we Move and have a Song to Sing!
In Him There is no Night and we Never Die
For Jesus Christ is The Resurrection and The Life.

"Above All" is the song HE gave my heart to sing
as my friend's mom took off on unrestricted wing
She who "loved Life" has now met HIM face to face
Jesus the Our Lord and the Giver of Life and Grace!

Loved one, live well there on Heaven's shore
Someday we too shall come through those doors
What a welcome home party there must be
Oh Happy reunion, a Glorious Jubilee!





Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kindgoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Crucified laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kindgoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all


Thank you Jesus!
