Cloud of Witness

How I recall your steadfast courage

Your character, which would not bend

And when you found your life in Jesus

You were the mightiest of men

Yet in the end, your tent was tattered

Your strength was gone, but not your faith

You knew death was … already conquered

And you would soon see the Savior’s face

Chorus:

And Join that great cloud of witness

With the Saints around the throne

Hear the words “Well done my servant!

Your faith in me has made you whole.”

You built a home and raised a family

With ample love and a firm hand

You were ever there to show me

What it meant to be a man

In quiet times, I can’t help but miss you

Your walk on earth was too soon done

But when you’re absent from the body

You are present with the Son

Chorus
