His Own Way
There is no way but His own way To give us comfort day by day; He’ll lift the veil of doubt and fear And brush away each lonely tear.
There is no hand but His own hand To lift us and let us stand In all our grief with head unbowed, to see above the anguish crowd.
There is no light but His own light to guide us through the darkest night.
When shadows fall there is no fear; In His own way He is ever near.
I AM SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF GARY, MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
