I am distressed for you,
my brother Johnathan;
you have been very
pleasant to me.
-2 Samuel 1:26

At journey's end, take a long look back
At the details of the story;
Take time to review the godly life
Of your loved one now in Glory.

Precious memories of life can temper the profound sadness of death.

Go home to your
friends, and tell them
what great things the
Lord has done for you,
and how He has had
compassion on you.
-Mark 5:19

Take control of my words today,
May they tell of Your great love;
And may the story of Your grace
Turn some heart to You above.

Sharing the gospel is one person telling another good news.
