Grieving
by
Alice C. Bateman
Your family’s left here grieving
And they don’t know what to do
More than one’s afraid that
They won’t make it without you
We just don’t understand it
The suff'ring that is here
Why does our God demand it
Why is death our biggest fear
When we cross the final boundary
Close the book that is our life
We should go into a better plane
One that’s free of all the strife
One that’s free of all the burdens
All the pain and hurts we feel
But when someone we love dies
The pain is all too real
Do your grieving, it’s essential
But then let your loved one go
Their tomorrow will be brighter
Than those of us left here can know
If they have learned their lessons
Walked the good path all their days
You can be sure they are in Heaven
Basking in His Holy Grace
