In Memory of Everett Owens

For The Owens Family

Just Moving On

You all know the struggles I've been through, I just could not dream of leaving you.

Fighting every day for a breath of life, your love for me made it seem right.

But then that day the Saturday morn, Jesus came and at first I was a bit forlorn.

But He explained His master plan, then leaving this earth just sounded mighty grand.

You see He explained it this way, I'm just moving on not passing away.

I never gave up, I fought a good fight, it's just that God prepared me for this very special flight.

A glimpse of Heaven made the difference you see, made me know this was best for you and for me.

Oh, how I've studied this life and its works, and pondered countless hours of all of its quirks.

I wanted to be a very wise and very good man, but to love you all was even a greater demand.

I gave you all of my life, and my love for you, I hope, made all things right.

A carpenter, craftsman and quilter I've done, but nothing compares to God's Only Son.

I wish each and everyone of you could see what I see, He died to give life for for and for me.

I gaze upon His nail scarred hand, and see in depth the final master plan.

A jokester and maybe a little mischievous now and then, but in all of this much love I did blend.

As I was laying in that hospital bed, something special the Savior did say.

It's time to move on to your heavenly home, where in pain you never will groan.

We're going to your mansion in Heaven today, where you forever will be able to stay.

Listen my dear family and friends, I hope this will turn your sadness to grins.

God loved me and called me to this glorious land, He lifted me that day with His powerful hands.

When you look upon this body today, that's really not me, I've gone away.

But this thing I know is wonderfully true, one day again I'll be able to be with all of you.

Make sure that Christ is Lord of your life, for He is the only One that can make all things right.

My body is new, I'm miraculously free, of all that old illness that lived inside of me.

Let me say this in closing to all of you, I wish your feelings were not quite so blue.

Remember my love and feelings for you, will never change no matter what you do.

But please do this one thing especially for me, make Christ your Savior, so you to can be free.
