God looked around his garden And He found an empty place He then looked down upon This Earth and saw Barb's tired face He put his arms around her And lifted her to rest God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best He knew Barb was in pain He knew that she would never Get well on earth again So He closed her weary eyelids And whispered "Peace Be Thine" And then he took a yellow rose to Heaven With hands so gentle and so kind It broke our hearts to lose her But she did not go alone For part of us went with her The day God called her home.

"On Eagles Wings" written by Michael Joncas based on Psalm 91
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord Who abide in the shadow for life Say to the Lord: *My refuge, my rock In whom I trust*
Chorus: And He will raise you up on eagles wings Bear you on the breath of dawn Make you to shine like the sun And hold you in the palm of His hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you, And famine will bring you no fear: Under His wings your refuge His faithfulness your shield
You need not fear the terror of the night Nor the arrow that flies by day Though thousands fall about you Near you it shall not come
For to His angels He*s given a command To guard you in all of your ways Upon their hands they will bear you up Lest you dash your foot against a stone
Coda: And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand
