Billy

You walked with a quiet and patient grace

A caring reflection of the Savior's face

Billy, you held me when the world grew cold

With a gentle spirit and a faith so bold

I look at the empty space beside me now

And hold to the peace that you carried somehow

You were on fire for the Lord, a beautiful flame

Telling whoever would listen the power of His name

Sharing your testimony of mercy and truth

Oh, Billy, I love and I deeply miss you

You lived for the Kingdom in all you would do

Now heaven is hearing the story of you

You never held back what He did for your soul

You wanted the broken to know He makes whole

To every stranger, you opened your heart

A caring believer right from the start

I cherish the years as your wife and your friend

And the unwavering faith that you kept to the end

You were on fire for the Lord, a beautiful flame

Telling whoever would listen the power of His name

Sharing your testimony of mercy and truth

Oh, Billy, I love and I deeply miss you

You lived for the Kingdom in all you would do

Now heaven is hearing the story of you

The tears that I cry are a heavy weight

But I know you are resting in His embrace

Your race is completed, your healing is won

You are walking in glory right next to the Son

I will carry your memory, patient and true

Until the sweet day I'm reunited with you

'Cause you were on fire for the Lord, a beautiful flame

Telling whoever would listen the power of His name

Sharing your testimony of mercy and truth

Oh, Billy, I love and I always will miss you

You lived for the Kingdom in all you would do

I'll forever cherish the story of you
