There Is a Place (arr. M. Cahill for orchestra)

Liam Lawton

There's a time for remembering, a time to recall

The trials and the triumphs, the fears and the falls.

There's a time to be grateful for the moments so blest:

The jewels of our memory where love is our guest.

There is gold that is gleaming in a past we once knew:

In our tears and our laughter, 'twas love brought us through.

There's a road we have travelled where sunlight has kissed,

That carries us onwards when loved ones are missed.

There is treasure in our fields. There is treasure in our skies.

There is treasure in our dreaming from the soul to the eye;

For wherever we gather in the light of God's grace,

And for all whom we remember, there will ever be a place.

There's a promise of God that is written in the stars

For all who may travel, no matter how far.

God will be your companion, each journey you make

In the shadow of loved ones, to lighten your way.

In the quiet of the evening, at the close of the day,

We will rest on the journey. To the Lord we shall pray.

May we thank God for blessings, for the moments we've shared.

As we seek for tomorrow, close by us you'll stay.
