Lyrics

[male vocals] Oh,

heaven

hear

my

cry

today

Remembering

those

who

paved

the

way

Raphael,

our

firstborn,

nineteen-sixty-two

Born

in

June,

the

light

of

truth

you

knew

A

teacher

by

your

trade,

a

referee

upon

the

field

But

in

July

of

two-thousand-fifteen,

your

spirit

had

to

yield

Oh,

we

miss

your

guiding

whistle

and

the

wisdom

that

you

shared

Hallelujah,

Lord,

we

know

how

deeply

Raphael

cared

They

are

gone

but

not

forgotten,

in

the

arms

of

grace

they

sleep

Though

the

road

is

long

and

lonely,

and

the

valley

is

so

deep

For

my

brothers

and

my

sister,

for

the

parents

that

I

love

I

hold

onto

the

promise

of

the

glory

up

above

Yes

Lord,

we’

ll

meet

again

where

the

river

flows

so

clear

Walking

through

the

silence,

wishing

they

were

here

Mary

Movya,

my

sister,

my

heart

is

torn

in

two

Born

in

June

of

sixty-four,

I

see

myself

in

you

A

teacher

with

a

gentle

touch,

a

spirit

bright

and

kind

November

eighth

of

twenty-four,

you

left

this

world

behind

I

named

my

baby

after

you,

so

your

name

would

never

fade

Thank

You

Jesus

for

the

memories

and

the

foundation

that

you

laid

My

heart

is

heavy,

Lord,

I’

m

struggling

to

find

my

way

It’

s

hard

to

come

to

terms

with

the

ending

of

the

day

They

are

gone

but

not

forgotten,

in

the

arms

of

grace

they

sleep

Though

the

road

is

long

and

lonely,

and

the

valley

is

so

deep

For

my

brothers

and

my

sister,

for

the

parents

that

I

love

I

hold

onto

the

promise

of

the

glory

up

above

Yes

Lord,

we’

ll

meet

again

where

the

river

flows

so

clear

Walking

through

the

silence,

wishing

they

were

here

Willie,

my

elder

brother,

sharp

as

any

blade

Born

in

July

of

sixty-six,

your

wisdom

never

swayed

Though

school

was

left

behind,

your

mind

was

keen

and

bright

You

shone

within

our

family

like

a

beacon

in

the

night

Taken

far

too

early

in

July

of

ninety-four

Glory,

glory,

brother,

you

are

safe

upon

that

shore

And

father,

you

left

us

in

September

of

ninety

Mother,

you

followed

in

November,

twenty-fifteen

The

house

is

quiet

now,

the

rooms

are

feeling

cold

But

your

stories

remain

in

the

books

that

we

hold

Praise

Him,

even

in

the

sorrow,

praise

Him

in

the

pain

We

are

waiting

for

the

sun

to

break

through

all

this

rain

Five

precious

souls,

a

lineage

of

grace

I

look

to

the

sky

and

I

seek

for

your

face

Raphael,

Mary,

Willie,

and

the

parents

who

gave

life

You’

ve

finished

your

race,

you’

ve

ended

the

strife

Amen,

it

is

written,

the

work

is

all

done

Until

we

are

gathered

together

as

one

They

are

gone

but

not

forgotten,

in

the

arms

of

grace

they

sleep

Though

the

road

is

long

and

lonely,

and

the

valley

is

so

deep

For

my

brothers

and

my

sister,

for

the

parents

that

I

love

I

hold

onto

the

promise

of

the

glory

up

above

Yes

Lord,

we’

ll

meet

again

where

the

river

flows

so

clear

Walking

through

the

silence,

wishing

they

were

here

Rest

now,

my

beloved,

in

the

Master's

care

I’

ll

meet

you

in

the

morning,

in

the

holy

air

Thank

You

Jesus,

for

the

time

we

shared

Amen,

amen,

the

family’

s

prayer

Amen.
