Bless This Family With Eternal Grace

Copyright Kerri A. Gerke

 

Lord, be with these parents and ease their suffering

Their child was their ultimate offering

Let them find comfort in Your arms

Knowing their child faces no more harm

Losing a child seems so wrong

Help them move on now that she is gone

Their angel has gone home at last

Never to feel the pains of past

The parental love will forever be

Breaking the boundaries of eternity

An emptiness is left behind

This family needs You during this time

Help them to grieve the child they love

Help them find comfort in her eternity above

Sydney forever will be in their hearts

This child knows they are only a life apart

For there will come a glorious day

This family will reunite in Your name

In Your home of eternal splendor

The pain felt now, never again remembered

Ease this family’s pain, holding them in your hand

Until such time as You decide they leave this land

Once again to be with their daughter dear

And again to their heart, hold her near

From this world was taken an angelic face

Now Lord, hold this family in your eternal grace
