Beyond the Rainbow’s End Beyond the rainbow’s farthest end, there lies A land that’s always filled with love and light. Where shadows never fall and dim the skies, For in this lovely land there is no night. In this celestial peace of joy and peace, There is no time or space, no dought or fear, For those who come to it, All trouble cease, All worldly difficulties disappear. And though the lost of loved ones or of friends Brings sorrows and is hard for us to bear. If we could see beyond the rainbow’s end We know that we could find them waiting there In that celestial dwelling place aboveThe land of peace and joy, of light and love.

Benediction Recessional
God looked around his garden, and he found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful; He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw that the road was getting rough and the hills are hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For parts of us went with you. That day that God called you home.
Love, Family
