Always

(In memory of Michael Billings)

Life is a vapor, who could have known

The life that you spoke of, would soon be your own

Your day was appointed, your time was redeemed

You were greatly anointed, by the God you esteemed

You sought Him with all of your heart

Now from Him you’ll never depart

No man despised you because of your youth,

You walked in the light, and you stood for the truth

With courage, conviction, with passion and grace

Then through a glass dimly, but now face to face

Your faith was in God alone

He gave you your wings, and then flew you home

Chorus:

Always, forever you’ll be

Praising your Savior, eternally

Bowing in worship, through endless days

We’ll remember you always, always

We’ll remember you always.

A bright star has faded, but your vision lives on,

We’ll carry the torch, and we’ll sing your heart’s song

To a world lost and dying, the message we’ll bring

Of hope for the future, and life in the King

This vapor is passing away

The night is soon falling, we must seize the day…..
