' For above all principality, andpower, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under hisfeet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.
Kevin, Oh! Kevin where have you gone. You slipped away from us to take your seat around God's throne. Kevin, Oh Kevin, we will never forget you, so we will stay strong, for it won't be long, we will be with you seated around God's throne.
