We cannot know what lies ahead from day to passing day,
What changes God is planning in his wise and loving way.
We cannot know the reasons why our sorrow has to be,
Why we must lose the ones we need and love especially,
We cannot know, but we can trust and faith can help us find,
Our why to those tomorrows that will bring us peace of mind.
"A precious one from us is gone, A voice we love is stilled A place is vacant in our hearts, that never can be filled Take her in Thine arms, dear God, And ever let her be A messenger of love, Between our hearts and Thee"
