He tells us now of his leaving And of such incredible love Beyond our understanding Beyond our deserving As he joins his Father above
And that he will go to prepare A dwelling place for us all Who believe in his word Who trust in his mercy And respond to his Father’s call
Sadly he will leave us soon The Advocate he will soon send Who will teach us all we need Open our minds to his will And in our weakness, so defend
Peace he leaves with us And peace he so gives Remaining not in this world to be Yet we know that while he lives The truth in him we see
Sadly he is leaving us soon As the words he leaves so state We don’t want this to happen Oh it will be so hard to see But as told, we know it must be
We are saddened by his leaving This is harder than we thought It’s hard to rejoice as he asks His absence will hurt our hearts It’s hard to feel as we ought
Now stating he gives us his peace As we listen with our hearts For we need him to be here To be with us as we set forth As our ministry now starts
Telling all men of his life Is our mission from this day And filled with the spirit Teaching of his life and love We will follow his Way
Dear Jesus be with us Tomorrow and today Strengthen us on the way Help us bring peace to our world As we tell all of your love By the Word you now give us to say
