David, I look back at the memories we keep
Your love for your children, beautiful and deep
Family was the center of your gentle heart
And even though right now we are apart
I feel your spirit in the quiet of this place
And thank the Lord for the blessing of your grace
ChorusRest easy in the presence of the Lord
I love you, Son, my forever twenty-nine
He has called you to a beautiful reward
Where His perfect light will always shine
I’ll hold you in my soul until the end of time
Rest easy, David, my forever twenty-nine
Verse 2I still laugh when I go back to those days
When we would tell you "smile" to catch your gaze
You’d close one eye and give that crooked grin
A joyful light from somewhere deep within
It brings a tear, but then it brings a smile
I trust the Lord to hold you for a while
ChorusRest easy in the presence of the Lord
I love you, Son, my forever twenty-nine
He has called you to a beautiful reward
Where His perfect light will always shine
I’ll hold you in my soul until the end of time
Rest easy, David, my forever twenty-nine
BridgeYour love for family was a sacred thing
A testament to the joy that you would bring
Now heaven gets to see that crooked smile
While Jesus walks with me this earthly mile
I lift my hands and send my love on high
Knowing love like yours will never die
Final ChorusSo rest easy in the presence of the Lord
I love you, Son, my forever twenty-nine
He has called you to a beautiful reward
Where His perfect light will always shine
I’ll hold you in my soul until the end of time
Rest easy, David, my forever twenty-nine
I love you, Son, my forever twenty-nine
