Lyrics
O Lord, our eyes filled with tears, our voices low in moan,
A child of light was taken, that left our hearts alone.
The hearth burns faint, and the door stands wide,
We call upon Thy tender name, and lift our broken cries.
Taken before us all, in our plain sight,
Now cradled in Thy mercy, wrapped in holy light.
A hero removed from our very presence,
To be with Thee O Lord, in a new residence.
Feeling lost, we stagger beneath our weight of pain,
The grave is but a gateway, the night is not in vain.
In Christ the hurt shall lighten, in Him the dead shall rise,
We look beyond the sorrow to where no loss denies.
Taken before us all, in our plain sight,
Now cradled in Thy mercy, wrapped in holy light.
A hero removed from our very presence,
To be with Thee O Lord, in a new residence.
Grant us grace to bear those that are left behind,
To live in faith, in gentle deeds, with memories entwined.
Till angels bring the dawning, and time be swallowed up,
We hold the flame of hope, and know that all is just.
Taken before us all, in our plain sight,
Now cradled in Thy mercy, wrapped in holy light.
A hero removed from our very presence,
To be with Thee O Lord, in a new residence.

Soft and gentle beginning, sounds so rich and very sensitive, lyrics are very rich and smooth, I really like the approach on the vocals, it's great love the break at one point when you let the voice by itself, very soulful.
