A Prayer

My God in faith I come to thee,
To make one great but humble plea.
If it’s my destiny to go first, on
Death’s dark, lonely road,
I pray you Lord to let me rest
and wait for one I’ve loved the best.

She stood by me through all the years,
She shared my joys, she shared my tears.
She reared my children one by one,
To love thee and to love thy Son.

And when we reach that open door
Through which our loved ones passed before,
And when we see His kindly face
We’ll pray that by His wondrous grace
To enter Heaven side by side,
And in His joyous peace abide
Forever and together.
