In honor of our friends Travis and Rebecca Johnson
and their children Tanner and Indiana


Exaltation assured

A baby, like many before,
Innocent and perfect in youth
Sojourned here, for a moment,
His spirit, had accepted the truth

A warrior from pre existence
Fought for Jesus, for truth and for right,
His valour again was so needed
He returned, to teach God’s clear light

The light of truth, to so many
To spirits, in prison kept,
He teaches again among them,
For those, who have long time slept

So difficult was his decision
As he faced his Father above
A choice to love earthly parents
Or return, and for Him, spread love

He knows of his mothers’ yearning
So thankful for fathers strength
Born under the holy covenant
Will be with them again, at length

His parents moved by the spirit
Understanding the Gospel so true
And sealed by the spirit of promise
In faith, they do all they must do

For they know that their God and Father
Knows sorrow, for deep sacrifice
Willingly they kneel at the alter
And trust, broken hearts will suffice

Embracing they stand now united
By their side, Unseen, is their son
A warrior, behind brother and sister
This family, in spirit is one

One in the knowledge, God loves them
Aching hearts, He truly does mend
And Jesus, His promise unbroken
For each, His heart He did rend

From the depths of despair now arise
Dry your tears like the sun dries the rain
Exaltation assured, through His covenant
Loved ones will meet once again.
