Verse 1

We’ll meet again when this world ends,
but until then,
I’ll remember all your good years,
your bad and your lean years,
your laughter and your tears.
I’ll remember how you came through it all,
standing so tall,
never complaining,
because you were too tough to fall.
I’ll remember how you always had time
for a friend, a smile and a helping hand.
You were a big, big-hearted person.
Yes, we’ll meet again when this world ends,
but until then,
I’ll remember all the funny things
you used to say and do
and all the wonderful times that we shared, too.
Yes, I’ll remember from day to day,
and I just want to say
We’ll meet again when this world ends,
but until then,
thanks for being my friend.

Verse 2

For God so loved the world, that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but
have everlasting life. John [3:16]

Verse 5

God looked around His garden
and He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this
earth, and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered, “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you but
you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
the day God called you home.

Verse 6

A person of Great Character whose
judgment, humor and friendly spirit
brought out the finest in those around
them. The influence of their life
upon others is a flame that will burn
brightly forever.
They left so much good with
every soul they touched on this earth.

Verse 7

Gone is a mother loved by all,
Her soul is now at rest.
She’ll sleep in peace, her work is done.
A mother’s work...the best.
She’ll know the joy of perfect rest
In heaven up above,
Where she may dwell contentedly
Protected by God’s love.
Our hearts may grieve that she must lie
Beneath the sacred sod,
And yet we know she lives in peace
Within the house of God.

Verse 8

Gone is a father loved by all,
His soul is now at rest.
He’ll sleep in peace, his work is done.
A father’s work——the best.
He’ll know the joy of perfect rest
In heaven up above,
Where he may dwell contentedly
Protected by God’s love.
Our hearts may grieve that he must lie
Beneath the sacred sod,
And yet we know he lives in peace
Within the house of God.

Verse 9

A million times we’ve needed you,
A million times we’ve cried.
If love alone could’ve saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.

Verse 12

 One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was
walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging to
me and the other to the Lord. When the
last scene of my life flashed before me, I
looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path
of my life, there was only one set of
footprints. I also noticed that it happened
at the very lowest and saddest times in
my life. This really bothered me, and I
questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, You
said that once I decided to follow You,
You’d walk with me all the way. But I have
noticed that during the most troublesome
times in my life, there is only one set of
footprints. I don’t understand why, when
I needed you most, You would leave me.”
The Lord replied, “My child, my precious
one, I love you, and I would never leave
you. During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it
was then that I carried you.”

Verse 15

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me,
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh ,a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Verse 16

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me into the path of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies;
thou annointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever.

Verse 18

I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve
to dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave
when life is done.

Verse 22

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little and not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of life's plan,
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the family and friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.

Verse 28

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so He put His arms around you
and whispered "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A Golden Heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

Verse 29

When I am gone, release me, let me go...
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love. You can only guess
how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
but now it's time I traveled on alone.

So grieve, a while for me if you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call, and I will come.
Though you can't see, I'll be near
and if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile saying,
"Welcome Home!"

Verse 34

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
but remember me in every tomorrow.
My going has eased my pain and given relief,
so dry your eyes and forget your grief.
Remember the joy, our laughter, my smile
and that our being apart is just for awhile.
Remember me also as I used to be.
Understand in your hearts, so precious to me,
that I've gone on ahead to dwell up above,
and 'til we're once more together...
You have all of my love.

Verse 37

We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly.
In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories.
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Verse 40

I thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.
I think of you in silence
and I often speak your name.
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I'll never part
For God has you in His keeping,
and I have you in my heart.

Verse 43

Those we love don't go away,
For they walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.

Verse 46

When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you loved me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand.

When tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

Verse 50

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be more than a thought apart,
for as long as there is memory, they'll live on in the heart.
