A Choir’s Song

 

I’ll be with you in this world and the next,

wherever you go.

 

I’ll be there out of sight, in the light of a dawn

or from the height of a flying swan.

 

You’ll forget, but then you’ll know I am there,

you’ll know.

 

You’ll be blessed with love, made strong by loss,

and lifted by life.

 

You’llknow the world loves you,

by the warm sound of your name.

 

And someday a choir’s song,

will rejoice you came.
