Eternal Values
Whatever else be lost among the years
God still abides, and love remains the same
And bravely will glimmer through mens tears
And truth will keep it clean and upright name
As long as life lasts there will be ever be
Kindness and justice and high loyalty.
Wonderful Peace
Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than Psalm;
In celestial-lie strains it unceasingly falls
Oer my sould like an infinite calm.

Friends
For this world is not what it was meant to be
And our lives are far from perfection.
But one day we will feel sorrow no more,
Until then we need Gods protection.
To guide us through those endless storms.
To lift our spirits when we are down.
To rebuild our world when it comes apart.
To be our friend when none can be found.
So as the tears of grief swell in your soul
And deaths stings seem like a piercing thorn
Remember that God said
Weeping may endure but for a night
But joy cometh in the morn.
