My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.  
  Psalms 73

Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged, for the LORD your
God will be with you wherever you go.
  Joshua 1:9

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still
In our heart you hold a place,
That no one will ever fill
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
