Hospice In Mourning, Reprise
In cooler time the sun still slept,
The clock stood still, an angel wept,
The covers stirred, then breath no more,
The man was gone, the silence roared,
Now calm the rain this summer's day,
Let hidden light break sodden gray,
Oh, why, we ask do some go, some stay?
Are human hearts built to break away?
Of this, be sure, he'd not have us weep,
Mourn a man who does not sleep,
He's passed the veil, in shining fields,
Smiling joy at mysteries revealed,
This story's beginning had to end,
Hello, before. Now, farewell friend,
Together, here, we loved, we cried,
But stand alone when laughter died,
But what we were will never fade,
What God creates cannot be unmade,
For love, triumphantly, you'll see,
Will be there when you next see me.
