I said “see you later” to my good friend John Manning today.  He and Steve Kahn are catching up in heaven.

The songs at the Mass were well chosen. The Priest was great too!

This is not one of the songs but I think it’s a good one to carry with us as we go forward.

I Am With You by Chris Anderson

I am with you, says the Father,

Through the floods, I calm and keep.

Though the swelling waves surround you,

I surround the waters deep.

Fear not, loved one,

feel My presence.

You will never be along.

Trust Me, loved one;

you are precious.

You are Mine, My very own.

I am with you, says the Savior, Even to the age’s end.

Never leaving, nor forsaking, I’m your ever-present Friend.

Fear not, loved one, hear My comfort; None can pluck you from My hand.

Trust Me, loved one; I am constant; None can change what I have planned.

I am with you, says the Spirit, There is nowhere you can flee.

Neither height nor depth can hide you; Every place is home to Me.

Fear not, loved one; hear My witness;

You are God’s own child and heir.

Trust Me, loved one; hear My whisper:  Deep within you, I am here.

Come be with Me, says the Master, Greeting hopeful, homesick eyes.

I was with you in your journey;

Be with Me in paradise.

Fear not, loved one; know My promise;

I will surely, quickly come.

Trust Me, loved one; know My purpose;

I will bring you safely home.
