His battle is over.
The victory’s won:
No more suffering now,
Only praise to the King.
He fought a good fight,
A legacy did leave,
Generations he touched
With the lessons he taught.
He worked hard, and he served;
His family, he loved.
His church and his town,
They all knew his name.
So since the battle’s been won,
Now it’s time to praise
The Leader, the King,
Our LORD who does save.
Papa’s praising him now.
Let us join him in song.
Let’s sing, “Holy, Holy”
To the one on the throne.
Let’s wipe our tears
And turn our hearts towards heaven
For the Savior’s due glory.
Let’s bring it to Him.
As we walk on this earth,
Let’s not forget
To walk looking to Him
That truly we’ll live.

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." While I am deeply sorry for your loss, I am thankful you have the legacy of a grandfather that loved Jesus, and am even more thankful you have the peace that comes from knowing he did. What a difference that knowledge makes. What a joy to know that the one you love is before his KING, doing what he was made to do...to enjoy Him and glorify Him forever. I love you and miss..as always but even more so now...you and your family are in my prayers.
Clearly, you have been blessed to have a loving grandfather like your Papa. I'm so glad that you have the comfort of knowing that he is now in the very presence of the Lord and that one day you will be there as well. Prayerfully Yours, Elaine
