  We lift you unto the Lord,
  In this time of grief,
  We pray the Lord will be to you
  The comfort that you need
  And when you have no answers
  To all the questions 'why',
  Know that Gid is in control
  And is there by your side
  He understands the way you feel
  And knows the loss yoy face,
  So rest in His eternal love
  For there, you'll find His Grace
