.# JamiCy (Prayer
Oh Lord, he gentle with her.
Be merciful and kind;
For she was loved so dearly
By those she left behind,
Walk slowly with her, Lord,
As you take her to the Promised Land.
Stay ever by her side,
Sing sweetly in her ears
And when she cries of missing us
Gently wipe away her tears.
And, Lord, when what weve asked is done,
We pray our hearts youll touch.
And let her know we love her so,
And we miss her just as much.
