He chose a journey all his own
Journeying our to the deep unknown
A lost soul filled in fear for new comings and new beginnings
Silent and kept to himself
he stay until day break
and dawn rise
Until he learned to open up and trust
He never knew how to pray
He never knew how to trust until sorrows broke his paths and way
His weakness pulling him deep within
Until he began to pray he never knew trust and faith
He never knew his strength remained
Life stricken I prayed to him to see me through
Taking away all my sorrow and shame I prayed for the gift of strength to remain in grace
He knows not of the storm for he is the storm pulling us through what blocks our ways
He became our hiding place
For broken hearts that seek the good
They would not be broken seeking heaven
Had the world held their joy
Once lost souls
Made forever whole
Loosing the weak and gaining strength
Once walking a journey all his own
Dies with honor from nations everywhere unlisted by names
No longer lost
Found by honor
In God whom saves
Honor in services he had to train and learn
Faith he’d never known
Death that may have taken him so suddenly
In Faith he died believing and free
Serving God and country
Now looking down with these words of praise still as he would believe saying…
Do not stand over my grave and weep
I’m forever a part of history
I’m in your memories forever long
Be proud of me and praise Him who trained me in all I knew
Once bonded to fear and suffering soul
I was found and given honor in him above
Given my own freedoms
After I helped gain freedom for you
Don’t be sad for I am free and ecstatic like never before
Send praises of thanks up to him for me
This is beauty you can never imagine on your own
Don’t stand over my grave and weep
Be proud of me and happy for me
I know I am not there
I don’t sleep
I do not fear my restlessness I’ve released
I am the gentle autumn rain
Blowing across your face in the frail wind of the autumn’s breeze
Hush now friend
I may be silent now
But I am with you
morning,day and night
No need for sleep
Faith is what I need now
He who covers me within his wings
keeping me strong and safe
Do not stand over my grave and weep
Fill yourself with praise
I am free
I have been saved
Do not cry for I have not gone away
Do not walk away in sorrow
I have met a better tomorrow
For today is mine
Yesterday was my journey into faith
But now you need to see and believe
Do not stand there and cry
For even though I have left I have not died
I am forever free with He who saved me
Forever in eternity
I chose this journey
It was my story that I made
Go and tell of all my historic memories
Do not be in shame
It’s still me
I still remain the same
In your memories is now my faith journey
Honor me
Just as Christ and you are free
Realize I am now also free
Do not cry over me
I am your memories and your dreams
I have not died and forever live on a new life
