O Lord, help me maintain
An understanding heart
So I can overcome the pain
When those I love depart
Lord, help me understand
That loved ones move away
But carry into future lands
Thy word learned yesterday
Help me remember, Lord
When loved ones fall in sin
With kindness they can be restored
And feel Thy love again
And Father, comfort me
When loved ones pass away
Remind me, Lord, Thy children see
Their love another day
