COMFORT

Little boy-yet a full grown man Looking at his dad At whose side he stands Hero is the name he’s called Touching hands that have worked so hard His passing to his home is no longer stalled What a void, a deep and cavernous loss As the family feels the sting of death The man himself sees the victory of the cross Rest assured dear loved ones your Father really knows best For He’s called your husband, dad, uncle, grandpa and friend To a beautiful place of peace and rest In Him place your life and trust The same as your loved one did His life showed a relationship with Jesus was a must Knowing that the God of love forgave him of his past He walked daily with His Lord His life was strong, sturdy, and steadfast Even at a time of sorrow or pain There is hope in the One who for you died From Him strength and grace you will gain This is what my Dad's life taught He lived to repay the One who gave it all ‘Cause his eternal life at a great price was bought Written by Christian Matlock, My Wife
