| In These Last Few Days (Vince Gill)
Harmony vocals: Amy Grant In these last few days You've been on my mind We should get together And talk about the old times And put the past behind us Before life slips away I've been thinkin' about you In these last few days In these last few days I have felt my age I wish that I was younger but time has turned the page I sure miss the water And the rhythm of the waves I've been feelin' fragile In these last few days I have bee a faster A husband and a son Lookin' back is bittersweet Now that my face has run I've tired to be a witness From the cradle to the grave Time has felt so precious In these last few days In these last few days I have seen the light I'll be waiting for you On the other side My old friend, I love you Is really all that's left to say Lay down here beside me In these last few days My old friend, I'll miss you But I'm trying to be brave Lay down here beside me In these last few days |

| TRIBUTE TO DADDY
Dear Daddy, my best friend, the time has come for me to say things closest to my heart To tell you how I feel today, but where do I start? I guess at the beginning in the long years gone by, When I was just a little girl and you a tall giant of a guy. There are so many memories of you, Dad, as I was growing up. So many tender moments, to fill my life with love and hope. If I tried to tell of all the ways you've influenced my life it would take a book thick enough to make a pillar to the sky. I remember when I was sick in bed; I waited for you to come home. You gave me the needed medicine that always made me well. The comfort from strong working hands, and I could always tell your love was there beside me, I could see it in your eyes, and I know you've never known these things and you never realized how your firm and constant discipline gave comfort when it was needed to a growing girl, sometimes confused, but your words I always heeded. I think often of the Sundays and Holidays that have come and gone I can still hear you praying for all your family, my brothers and I and all of our families. I'll bet you don't know how your love of the little ones of this earth the animals and such, has given me an appreciation of their worth I remember all of the stories of your life when you told me about your fishing in the waters of Newfoundland. And your love for fishing. I can remember all the times we went camping, fishing and you took me hunting with you. Your honesty was displayed in each word and every deed and I can't think of a time when your life was ruled by greed. You might look back and wonder what things you've done in life, and ponder what you’ve left behind in this world of toil and strife, but I can tell you Daddy good and faithful friend, that your strength and strong convictions will never never end. For the generations yet to come will still know the good you've left behind. And all the things I've learned from you will be passed on down the line. Your love of God and constant faith has never ever wavered Your trust in his goodness, and belief in our Savior has pulled me back into his arms so many many times. As you've reached down into the depths of all the dirt and grime and pulled me up to stand beside you and brushed away the cares and tears and told me things would be OK. and made me face the love of truth and be very much aware that you'd fight for this family or crawl each step of the way that we might be together on the great and final judgment day. I know God has prepared a place for spirits like yours daddy a place of peace and happiness and no one is ever sad, and there is no more pain. And I can only promise you that I'll be right there beside you and mom throughout eternity. Daddy you will never know how much you are loved and how much you will be missed. A light has gone out of my life today. Today I am losing one of my best friends. The older I have gotten. I have come to realize my parents are my best friends. They have always been there for me in the good times and the bad times. Daddy left behind a legacy of truth and integrity for which he stood for each day of his life. He loved his family and served them daily. He was always there for us to encourage us and share with us a love for life. We have talked a lot over the past few months about heaven and that there will no more pain there, and I know you are not suffering any more. We just weren't ready for you to go yet Dad. But I know you are now at rest. Thank you Daddy, I know you can hear this and understand as you look down on us from your home above. I know you can see how much we are grieving and how much we will always miss you, and know you understand how hard it is for us to say goodbye. You were so loved by your kids, grand kids and great grandkids, and you will be missed so very much, more than you will ever know. " We love you Daddy," Written by Jackie Lane Nov.2, 2004 |
