Praise To My Man

Today marks the safe passage of one of my greatest heroes from this life to the next. It’s strange to think that just this morning I was sustaining him as a Prophet, Seer and Revelator… the leader of my faith, only hear of his passing mere hours later. He has left behind a legacy of love, friendship and service that will remain as an example to me forever. I can’t think of a better way to summarize his life and attitude than by the lyrics to “My Redeemer Lives,” written by the man himself.

I know that my Redeemer lives,
triumphant Savior, Son of God,
Victorious Over Pain and Death,
My King, my Leader, and my Lord.

He lives, my one sure rock of faith,
the one bright hope of men on earth,
The beacon to a better way,
the light beyond the veil of death.

Oh, give me thy sweet Spirit still,
the peace that comes alone from thee,
The faith to walk the lonely road
that leads to thine eternity.

God be with you till we meet again, President Hinckley. You are missed.
