Name: This Song Will Have to Do
Duration: P00H03M02S
Description: This song was written for my Uncle Dick who died early 2019 in his 90's. I remember him leading the choir, getting us all to sing together at holidays and a literal radiance that he shined with for everyone. One of my early memories is of being at church singing at the end of service and him encouraging me to sing with his smile and voice of an angel.

lyrics

We miss you we miss you we'll see you again
Till then this song will have to do

I remember as a boy
I'd look into your eyes
I'd wait just to hear you sing
Songs of the gospel
Of love without end
Peace and a brotherhood of man
Never did I see you without a smile on your face
You'd lift us all heavenbound

We miss you we miss you we'll see you again
Till then this song will have to do
