Rest Well Father (Remix)

Oh, heaven’s light is calling home

Rest now, dear father, you are not alone

You were the anchor in the middle of the storm

A steady hand to keep us safe and warm

"It’s okay," you’d whisper, "let it be"

Your peace was the river flowing through the sea

Oh, thank You Jesus for the time we shared

A man of grace, a man who truly cared

Oh Father, you were our strength and our hope

Our lifeline, giving us the will to cope

Greater than all the men that I have known

You’ve gone to sit upon the Father’s throne

Rest well, Father, your work is done

In the glory of the morning sun

Akonawatata, the spirit softly sighs

We see your legacy within our eyes

You taught the boys to walk with head held high

To trust in God beneath the open sky

Yes Lord, we miss you, but we know it’s true

The heavens opened up their gates for you

Oh Father, you were our strength and our hope

Our lifeline, giving us the will to cope

Greater than all the men that I have known

You’ve gone to sit upon the Father’s throne

Rest well, Father, your work is done

In the glory of the morning sun

Though the tears fall down like rain upon the ground

In His promise, comfort can be found

Praise Him, for the peace you left behind

A gentle love that’s etched within our mind

Glory to the One who guides you now

We lay our burdens down before the bow

So rest well, Father, let the soul be still

Surrendered to the Almighty's perfect will

We are the boys who stand because of you

Keeping your vision, faithful, strong, and true

Amen, we whisper to the midnight air

Knowing you’re safe within the Shepherd’s care

Oh Father, you were our strength and our hope

Our lifeline, giving us the will to cope

Greater than all the men that I have known

You’ve gone to sit upon the Father’s throne

Rest well, Father, your work is done

In the glory of the morning sun

Rest well, Father, oh, rest in light

We’ll see you soon, beyond the night

Hallelujah, you’re finally home

Rest well, Father, walk the golden road alone

Amen.
