See You Later, Beloved

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a light that memory keeps, A gentle grace that never sleeps. Some souls arrive and change your days, They serve with love in quiet ways. You'd ask me, "How can I serve you now?" An unsung hero, faithful somehow. [Chorus] Oh Hosea Morris Ned, Every word of kindness that you said. "You know I love you, Esther" still I hear, Your voice so tender, always near. You gave your best, you loved me true, And I give glory to God for you. [Verse 2] Behind the counter side by side, The pharmacy where you took pride. "Do you have enough?" you'd always care, For all my burdens, you'd be there. You'd go to the moon and back for me, And loved me full and endlessly. [Chorus] Oh Hosea Morris Ned, Every word of kindness that you said. "You know I love you, Esther" still I hear, Your voice so tender, always near. You gave your best, you loved me true, And I give glory to God for you. [Bridge] Twenty-four years you gave your all, You helped each soul, you heard the call. I love you then, I love you still, And I always, always will. [Verse 3] I miss your presence every day, The empty space you left this way. You went ahead to God's own shore, I'm sad and lonely, yet I'm sure— I'll see you soon, my beloved friend, Where love and legacy never end. [Chorus] Oh Hosea Morris Ned, Every word of kindness that you said. Protected, valued, cared for, blessed, You gave my weary heart its rest. You loved me true your whole life through, And I give glory to God for you. [Outro] Not goodbye, just see you later, Beloved friend, my destiny helper.
