There’s a young heart, riding free - going back home
Swiftly, he travels, in light and peace
 
He is being carried on angels’ wings
And his spirit is full of love
Eagerly, he awaits the God who made him –
Our indescribable God of love.
 
His time on earth was short –
A wonderful son, leaving so soon?
No long farewell? No kiss goodbye?
But a smile – his smile - so beautiful and perfect,
Is now being stored in their hearts,
Etched in their memories, capturing his light…forever
 
They will meet again – for You, Jesus, our Jesus, promised.
You are love and love conquers all –
All fear, all sadness, all anger, all sorrow, all tears, all pain.
So, mend their broken hearts, please and restore their hope?
For they need You now!
 
Their son, a brother and a friend, will always be with them
For time, with You, has no limits.
Thank You for his life and beauty; for all they shared.
He is precious, timeless, pure in love.
He gave them great joy.
He is a gift, for eternity.
 
Full of life, he moves now to share eternal life with You.
They wait, longingly, to see him again –
Impatient; relying on Your strength and mercy –
So be merciful to them
For pain reaches the very depth of their beings and touches their wounded souls.
 
Bless him. Bless You. Bless them. Ame
