It’s Hard to Let You Go
In spite of all we know,
It’s still hard to let you go
Tho we know you are in a better place,
Tis a bitter sweet sorrow we face
There is so much about you we will miss,
Without you everything will seem amiss.
This is so hard to do,
Oh so hard to do.
Ask me if I have any regrets,
And I’ll say yes every time
I didn’t know we were running out of time.
There is nothing we can say,
Nothing we can do now that we have lost you.
We can ask, Lord why?
As we cry, but any tears we cry
Are wasted tears
Cause you’re not here.
If we had asked the Lord not to take you yet,
I know the answer we would get
If we could write you a letter,
Or call you on the phone
We know you wouldn’t want to come home.
If we could reach you, no doubt you would say
You’d want to stay.
In our heart of hearts we know
What is settled above is settled here below.
It’s just so hard to let you go.
Tho we know you are in a better place,
Tis a bitter sweet sorrow we face
In spite of all we know,
It’s still hard to let you go
So, as we part,
Know that you take with you our hearts.
Tis with great sorrow we bid you Adieu.
Pastor Billy, we will be seeing you.
By and by
In that great meeting
In the sky.
In memory of Dr Billy Ingram
Pastor, Founder of Maranatha Community Church
Los Angeles, CA
These words I leave you in hopes they will bring comfort to us all
Given our pastor’s absence here,
We know he is finally hearing the words he longed to hear.
“Well done. You can come on in.”
Song by Deitrick Haddon
Well Done
