There is a Place: Liam Lawton

 

There’s a time for remembering, a time to recall

The trials and the triumphs, the fears and the falls:

There’s a time to be grateful for moments so blest

The jewels of our memory, where love is our guest

 

There is gold that is gleaming in a past we once knew;

In our tears and our laughter, t’was love brought us through.

There’s a road we have traveled where sunlight has kissed,

That carries us onward when loved ones are missed.

 

There’s a promise of God that is written in the stars

For all who may travel no matter how far,

God will be our companion each journey we make

In the shadow of loved ones to lighten our way.

 

In the quiet of the evening, at the close of the day,

We shall rest from our journey; to the Lord we shall pray:

We give thanks for the blessings, for the moments we share

As we seek for tomorrow, close by us You’ll stay.
