Blessings In Life And Death
From the dawning of new life
To the fullness of our years,
Our lives are filled with many
Wonderful blessings.
From the earliest remembrance of our childhood
To the faintest memory of the aged,
Our minds are filled with many
Wonderful blessings.
From the light of a beautiful sunrise
To the star studded night,
Our days are filled with many
Wonderful blessings.
From the works of our labor
To the much needed rest,
Our bodies are filled with many
Wonderful blessings.
From all of these, we can see how
Gods' blessings work in you and me.
But better still, is that one thing
Of which the angels all do sing.
A soul passing from life unto death,
A soul leaving this world for eternal rest,
A soul reunited with the Father ... Yes,
This is the greatest of all our many blessings.
