Death is just a shadow
A passing spot of gray
Leading into sunlight
And bringing on the day

Endure it for a moment
As bad as pain may be
Rest in the arms of Jesus
Sad may you never be

May you never be hurt
And may you find your peace
And find your rest upon the cross
May laughter never cease

And when upon the gates
Of Heaven you may knock
I pray upon the golden road
Your feet will always walk

I hope you're happy where you are
And happy ever more
Your boat is soon to rest upon
Sand of the golden shore

Rest in peace, my long lost friend
May kindness find your heart
May you and every blessing
Never be apart.
