Hold Us Up Lord Lord, we know youre always busy, For youve many things to do. But when sorrow overcomes us, Well, we need to talk to you. For weve lost someone precious, And theyre with you there above. And its someone that we needed, And its someone that we loved. We are feeling lost and all alone, And though we do believe, We need you Lord, to hold us up, To help us while we grieve. Please give us strength and courage Lord, To bear what we must bear, And nudge us when our faith is weak To remind us you are there. Give us hope for our tomorrows. Tell us life will still go on. Show us Lord that all this darkness, Will be followed by the dawn. You have led us through so many things, Youve pulled us through before. Hold us up, Lord, till were through this, And we are strong once more. THOMSON FUNERAL CHAPELS 783-7211
