For My Grandpa

A little boy left his home

Bound for somewhere new

With his Mother and Father

He entered the U.S. with one shoe.

His picture caught a lovely lady's eye

And when she saw him on the street

She introduced herself with a happy smile

Finally they could meet!

The lovely lady and handsome man

Were married 62 years

With 3 kids, 4 grandkids, and one great grandchild

They loved being near

Today we honor a faithful man

Who's resting from the race

Waiting for the trumpet blast

To call them both awake

So eagerly we await that day

When our hope is finally sight

Grandpa we will see you there

Thank you for your life of light.

How Deep the Father's Love for Us

How deep the Father's love for us

How blessed beyond all measure

That he should give His only Son

And make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of seering loss

The Father turns His face away

As wounds that mar the Chosen One

Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross

My sin upon his shoulders

Ashamed I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything

No gifts no power no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from his reward?

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds had paid my ransom.
