In memory of Pastor James Davis

I looked up in the sky
Beyond the clouds up there
Where Angels dwell among themselves
I didn't see you at all.

My heart heavy in sorrow
Missing you very much and even more
Gone is the smile and joy you left behind.
The meaningful words to encourage us
The things to know in the coming years.

If only you knew what I saying now
And the words of sad refrain spoken
Then you'll hear my heart's beating.

I gazed up in the distant skies
Searching for you and hoping you were there
But I am you weren't there after all
Until I found out you were called home,
Home where you belong
Rest, you need it in the long run.
