Cast
Upon the Care of God
Upon the death of the sister of friends
February
26, 1998.
it
was raining as we left
water
falling from heaven
like
the tears of God
lamenting
the lot befallen man
that
death should reign for life
we
could leave your grief behind
but
its shadow becomes our own
this
visit, these quiet conversations
will
one day surround our own
unhearing
ears and unseeing eyes
as
those loved struggle for courage
death
is not a foe
that
saints like us need fear
one
simple faith
a
life of death transcends
as
we are cast upon the care of God
cast
upon the care of God
“the
only one almighty God!”
stronger
far than death itself
the
joy awaiting
upon
the other side
the
fulfillment of His word
these
tears may last a season
our
love has been betrayed
but
love is never dimmed
our
God is Love Himself
each
soul cast upon His care
will
find its eternal home
within
His endless love
“Lord,
one of your lost lambs
is
coming home tonight!”
to
that home where sin no longer
can
cause the lamb to fall
and
all the tears of Earth
are
lost in the flood of Love

also
by Hiram Joseph and Pickering Christian School;
the second from a song by Rick Campbell. Both sung
on Sunday as we prayed for our friends and their family.
