Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from...

If I should go tomorrow
If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of...

To the living, I am gone,To the sorrowful, I will never return,To the angry, I was cheated,But to the happy, I am at peace,And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea,As you look...

The Call to Duty
A call to duty is sent outAnd the strong and the brave reply.They do it for love of country,So there's never a need to ask why.
They leave behind all that they love,Their families, their homes and their lives,Because to preserve these precious thingsIs the goal for which each soldier strives.
So God bless our troops,The...

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?Shall trouble or hardship or persecution orfamine or nakedness or danger or sword?As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long;we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”No, in all these things we are more than conquerors throughHim who loved us.For I am convinced that...

"MORE THYME! MORE THYME! MORE THYME!"
A timer‘s ringing in my ear
The dish of my lifetime is finally here
Love, family, friendship and cake
Ingredients that really helped keep me awake
But I’ve now run out of that most important of all
I’ve scoured the kitchen and even searched the hall
If only I’d been more sage...

He is Gone
You can shed tears that he is gone,Or you can smile because he lived,You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see himOr you can be full of the love that...

Butterflies From Heaven
When a butterfly come to you, I’ve been told,That it’s from someone in heaven, a past soul.If you keep a look out, if you open your heart,The things that were ordinary will now stand apart.I think if we look, read between the lines,You will find clues and you will find signs,That your loved one isn’t past,...

GONE FISHING
I’ve finished life’s chores assigned to me,So put me on a boat headed out to sea.Please send along my fishing poleFor I’ve been invited to the fishin’ hole.
Where every day is a day to fish,To fill your heart with every wish.Don’t worry, or feel sad for me,I’m fishin’ with the Master of the sea.
We will miss...
