The Bend in the Lane

Trapped no more in a body of pain,
Our dear one has gone 'round the bend in the lane.
Though his physical body is gone from our sight,
We know in God's plan his spirit took flight.

His presence here in our lives was sweet
He strove to do good to all he would meet.
A lifetime of service was his call on this earth.
Only in heaven will he know his true worth.

The bend in the lane is exactly just that:
A bend, not an end, he's living!  That's fact.
He's crossed the Great River with angels beside,
To bear him to heaven, with God he'll abide.

The time will soon come when we, too, will go
'Round the bend in the lane, and then we will know
The happy reunion of those who've been blessed
To walk with the Savior and enter His rest.

For now, we'll walk on, through joy and through sorrow.
We will not faint, for we know some tomorrow
This walk will be only a dim mem'ry past,
And the arms of our dear one will hold us at last.
