“I Am Held in His Light”Do not grieve as though I’m lost, For I am held in His embrace. The One who gave me life on earth, Has called me to a brighter place. My pain is gone; my soul is free, I rest where peace will never end. And in His love I’ve found my home, Where broken hearts begin to mend. Though you may weep and miss me still, Do not let sorrow dim your way. For God now holds me close in light, And walks beside you every day. We are not parted-not for long, His promise keeps us strong and true. And when He calls we’ll meet again- In endless love made whole; made new.
