How Lovely Are The Tabernacles Of The Lord: In Memory Of Chase

Today I lost a dear friend.

Someone who loved me

Without condition.

He didn't care

If I am not at my perfect weight,

Or sometimes had a grumpy
disposition.

I could tell him

My innermost thoughts

All my secrets 

He knew so well,

And when I felt sad

He comforted me

Resting his silky head

On my knee.

My heart is broken tonight

I've shed many a tear

My house seems so lonely

Without my friend

Being here.

All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all."

-Cecil F. Alexander

Hymns For Little Children

1848

"How lovely are Your tabernacles, 

O Lord of hosts!

My soul yearns, yes,

even pines 

and is homesick for

the courts of the Lord;

my heart and my flesh cry out

and sing for joy to the living God.

Yes, the sparrow has found a house,

and the swallow a nest for herself

where she may lay her young-

even Your altars,

O Lord of hosts,

my King and my God"

Psalm 84:1-3 

God does not forget the sparrows
 and He will not forget you either Chase!

Until we meet again, 
my beloved and faithful friend,

rest safely in the tender care of Yeshua.
