Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
I said a prayer for you today
and know God must have heard;
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke not a word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
I knew you wouldn't mind;
I asked for priceless treasures rare
Of a more lasting kind.
I prayed that He'd be near to you
Now that you've gone away;
To grant you all of His blessings
And His light to show your way.
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small;
But that you'd know His loving care
I prayed for most of all.
Don't think of him as gone away-
