You stood so straight and tall,
Strong woman of the Lord,
By those around you loved,
By your family adored.

 

You reached with hands of Christ,
To those who had a need,
You let Him pour, through you, His love,
You stood, His lambs to fed.

 

And when your body failed you,
You could no longer stand,
Still you stood tall, within your heart,
And held your Father’s hand.

 

So now, your fight is over,
He’s called you to come home,
You stand amongst the saints above,
And bow before His throne.

 

Those left behind still mourn you,
But not as sinners grieve,
For we know you’re with your Saviour,
The Lord, whom you believe.

 

And you will Praise in Heaven,
Far more than on this earth,
For God has found you faithful,
Since you found, in Him, re-birth.

 

So we will sing Him praises,
And thank Him for your stay,
We know we’ll once more see you,
When we reach our Judgement Day.
