For a Brother

Lord you know the trials this life brought

Lord you know the love he sought

Lord you know the wrong roads he walked

Lord you know the wrong talk he talked

Lord you know his soul and heart

Lord you know the things that tore him apart

Lord you know why he suffered so

Lord you know why it was his time to go

Lord you know the why of his life on earth

Lord you know his true value and worth

Lord we do not understand

Lord we know you have a master plan

Lord we return him to you

Lord you know are hearts are blue

Lord please keep him in your care

Lord please ease our heart’s despair

Lord thank you for the gift of this brother

Lord we know we’ll not have another

Lord we grieve

Lord your promises we believe
