Still Remembered
Shes gone but still remembered Well see her face no more
But when we join that angelic host Well meet again beside the shore. Shes gone but still remembered
She left behind a lovely past We need not mourn her going away Well see her when we die at last.
Shes gone but still remembered Her deeds were motivated by love We know shes resting with her God
In the heavens high above Gone! Yes! but still remembered.
