My deepest condolences go out to my cousin Helen and the entire family for your loss. Bob was such a kind man. What I remember best about him is how happily he would greet you, with the biggest hug that always made you feel warm and welcome. We will miss him dearly. I've added the lyrics to the song "Scars in Heaven by Casting Crowns" because it expresses a sentiment that, anyone who has ever experienced a loss, can relate to. Oh to have just one more day with them. May our Heavenly Father grant you peace and comfort.
Scars In Heaven
by Casting Crowns
Verse 1:
If I had only known the last time would be the last time I would have put off all the things I had to do I would have stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter Now what I’d give for one more day with you.
Verse 2:
Cause there’s a wound here in my heart where something's missing. And they tell me that it’s going to heal with time. But I know you're in a place where all your wounds have been erased. And knowing yours are healed is healing mine.
Chorus:
The only scars in heaven, they won’t belong to me and you. There'll be no such thing as broken and all the old will be made new. And the thought that makes me smile now even as the tears fall down. Is that the only scars in heaven are on the Hands that hold you now.
Verse 3:
I know the road you walked was anything but easy. You picked up your share of scars along the way. But now you’re standing in the sun, you’ve fought your fight and your race is run. The pain is all a million miles away.
Chorus:
The only scars in heaven, they won’t belong to me and you. There'll be no such thing as broken and all the old will be made new. And the thought that makes me smile now even as the tears fall down Is that the only scars in heaven (yeah) are on the Hands that hold you now.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, for the Hands that hold you now.
Verse 4:
There’s not a day goes by that I don’t see you. You live on in all the better parts of me. Until I’m standing with you in the sun, I'll fight this fight and this race I’ll run. Until I finally see what you can see. (Oh, Oh)
