SUNDAY PRAISE

Father, one our favorites went to be with you last week.

We thank you for his life, his talent, his ministry and his faith.

We thank you for his testimony.

Father, we are poorer for having lost him, richer for having had him among us and we look forward to seeing him again as he praises you throughout eternity.

As he sat at the piano play one of the century's greatest songs, we know he was doing what he loved. Would that each of us could come into your eternal presence doing that which we love the most.

Thank you, Father, for lending us Anthony Burger.

We anticipate the time when, with him, we shall behold Him.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

We Shall Behold Him

The sky shall unfold, preparing His entrance;
The stars shall applaud Him with thunders of praise.
The sweet light in His eyes shall enhance those a waiting,
And we shall behold Him then face to face.

Chorus

And we shall behold Him, we shall behold Him
Face to face in all of His glory;
And we shall behold Him, Yes, we shall behold Him
Face to face, our Saviour and Lord.

The angels shall sound the shout of His coming,
The sleeping shall rise from their slumbering place.
And those who remain shall be changed in a moment,
And we shall behold Him then face to face.

Chorus

And we shall behold Him, we shall behold Him
Face to face in all of His glory;
And we shall behold Him, Yes, we shall behold Him
Face to face, our Saviour and Lord.
We shall behold Him, our Saviour and Lord.

Anthony was indeed a gift from God. If he was that talented on earth, think what he can do now.
