about

This song was originally composed for a memorial service for a relative. I've since sung it many times, altering the last line of the verse as fits the name of the person.

lyrics

Requiem For Ben

Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his children
And his eye is always on every sparrow that falls
But you’re never alone, never alone

Safe in the arms of God your Father,
Creator, Lover and Friend

And he rejoices over you
with a song of love that never ends
And all of heaven joins in – a requiem for Ben

Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia

Tomorrow’s not promised and life’s not a right
It’s a gift to be treasured
And God’s ways are a mystery of tragedy and goodness
But we’re never alone, never alone
Safe in the arms of God our Saviour,
Redeemer, Lover and Friend

And he rejoices over us
with a song of love that never ends
And all of heaven joins in – a requiem for Ben

Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
