Happy Graduation

Happy graduation you're now with the King of Kings
Transported to his presence carried up on angels wings
Your life on earth has ended and even though we're sad
We know you are not in pain and for that we are glad
We can see you walking with the Lord down the streets of gold
Being welcomed by so many and talking with the saints of old
As much as we all miss you and wish we were there with you
For whatever reason we have more work to do
Now that you're around God's throne please lift us up in prayer
Ask the Lord to give us strength until we join you there
We are brokenhearted but we know the Lord knows best
Enjoy your eternity for you have earned your heavenly rest
