Job 5:8-11
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number: Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
Hebrews 6:13-20
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Think of--
Stepping on shore,
and finding it Heaven!
Of taking hold of a hand,
and finding it God's hand.
Of breathing a new air,
and finding it celestial air.
Of feeling invigorated,
and finding it immortality.
Of passing from storm to tempest
to an unbroken calm.
Of waking up, and finding it Home.

"When I Must Leave You"
(No Author Given)
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years
But start out bravely with a gallant smile:
And for my sake and in my name live on
And do all the things the same
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer,
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near:
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!

Let Me Go
(No Author Given)
We've known lots of pleasure,
At times endured pain,
We've lived in the sunshine
And walked in the rain.
But now we're separated
And for a time apart,
But I am not alone-
You're forever in my heart.
Death always seems so sudden,
And it is always sure,
But what is often forgotten -
It is not without a cure.
I'm walking now with someone ,
And I know He'll always stay,
I know He's walking with you too,
Giving comfort everyday.
There may be times you miss me,
I sort of hope you do,
But smile when you think of me,
For I'll be waiting for you.
Now there's are many things for you to do,
And lots of ways to grow,
So get busy, be happy, and live your life,
Miss me, but let me go.

My Angel
As I look into the Heavens
Piercing through a cloud
Sometimes I think I see you
Laughing There out loud
I know it's just a dream
But it helps to get me through
Nothing seems the same
Since I said goodbye to you
I know that you are happy
And watching over me
From the pain and the sadness
You have been set free
In my heart I have an album
Especially of you
With pictures and memories
And times shared by two.
You've always been my angel
Now you have your wings
Walking through the heavens
Where the choir of Angels sing
As I walk along the road
That life brings each day
I know that you are with me
In each and every way
With all that you have taught me
Stored within my heart
You're so in my memories
We'll never be apart
You've always been my angel
Now you have your wings
Walking through the heavens
Where the choir of Angels sing

My Heart Remembers You
When you feel as if I'm far away,
just say a little prayer...
and though I can't be with you,
please know how much I care.
Earth is not my home now,
but my heart remembers you...
as the harvest moon shines brightly,
you'll know just what to do.
Think of me with golden wings
in flight across the sky...
with moonbeams dancing softly,
evermore my soul to fly.
I'm safe with God in heaven,
where all my dreams come true...
my spirit lives forever,
and my heart remembers you.
