GOD, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is...

Do not stand at my grave and weep:
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow:
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain:
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the
Morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet bird...

Don’t spend too much time in mourning,
Tears are for the sad;
I left to be with Jesus
And this should make you glad.
Don’t waste your hours in grieving,
No need to feel distress;
I’m tired of life’s frustrations
And had to get some rest.
Don’t puzzle yourself with questions
Or try ...

While strolling in Life’s Garden,
I saw beauty on every turn,
Bright flowers were all blooming,
Midst stately rows of fern.
Amongst such lovely splendor
Were roses full of thorns,
White lilies aged, with browning,
A product of Life’s Storms.
We too, have thorns and thistles
That pr...

You wonder why I went away
And didn’t say goodbye;
I couldn’t bear to tell you
For it hurts me when you cry.
My ship came in early this morning
And it was beautiful to see;
The captain was King Jesus,
And he softly beckoned me.
I ran across the leeway
And fell down at his feet
He...

Turn your face toward the sun and
leave the clouds behind,
Today is yours, God given a precious gift of time.
Yesterday’s beyond recall it cannot be redone,
Tomorrow is still unclaimed it may or may not come.
Too often we worry over the bridge we’ll never cross
And miss the joys of today...

To those I love and those that love me,
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I thank you for the l...

I’m sorry I had to leave you.
My loved ones, oh so dear.
But you see, the Master called me,
His voice was very clear!
I had made my reservation
A heaven bound ticket for one,
And I knew that He would call me
When He felt my work was done.
I know that your hearts are heavy
Because I...

I’d like the memory of me
To be a happy one,
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when day is done.
I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve
To dry before the s...

When I come to the end of the
road and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little-but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me-but let me go.
For this is a journey...
