October 9, 1997 – August 31, 2009

 

 

IN A MOMENT THINGS CHANGED AND CAUGHT US OFF GUARD
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? ACCEPTING SEEMS TOO HARD....
IS THERE HOPE OR JOY OR PEACE TO BE HAD?
THE OVERWHELMING GRIEF HURTS US SO BAD...
BUT WHEN I SAW THE VISION OF ALEX LEAVING THIS PLACE
HIS EXIT WAS SWIFT AND HE WAS CRADLED IN GRACE
I SEE HIM RUNNING ACROSS A FIELD SO LUSH AND SO GREEN
HE IS WEARING HIS JERSEY...STILL NUMBER EIGHTEEN
FOR GLENN, VERONICA, NATHAN, AND FRIENDS...
HEAVEN IS ETERNAL AND IT NEVER EVER ENDS
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE LORD AND WALK IN HIS LOVE
JESUS WILL WATCH OVER ALEX UNTIL YOU JOIN HIM ABOVE

- L.T.
