We often contemplate what it is to live or die,
but the scriptures tell us
Jesus Christ died so we might live.
If this is so, then life must be
different than we can comprehend
through mortal eyes and time. Chuck

"In Father's Time"
C.J. Ingerson
11/30/98

Verse 1
*******

It is often a marvelous wonder
to behold how as mortal we
try to comprehend and ponder
as to how others really see.

Verse 2

We compare ourselves this day
seeing in others eyes and deeds
yet we only inside must look this way
for did we meet Fathers needs?

Verse 3

Each day of life is precious
to know we are His children
and He individually knows us
all others are of this forbidden.

Verse 4

And my friend he would not
be holding you just now so
delicately if you had not got
all completed what you were to do.;br>

Verse 5

You have far exceeded any plan

we need to look beyond the land
even we must look across the sea.

Verse 6
********

Who knows what battles you fought
the lives you saved by your being
or the classes you have taught
to allow others the right of seeing.

Verse 7
********

One must expect some students
to exceed beyond the teacher
but only Father records such events
no man or woman or even preacher.

Verse 8
********

Truly as a student of yours on high
in the pre-mortal world I learned
as others if we try we can learn to fly
to become as eagles and be concerned.

Verse 9

For others you've taught us to serve
to become the Father and Son as one
and thus you my friend now deserve
the accolade for jobs and missions done.

Verse 10

You should not weep at night anymore
for you are good and pure in thought
the stars above and the Son even more
your works are legend still being taught.

Verse 11

So peace my brother, this I am knowing
you feel enwrapped in Fathers warmth now
He is not disappointed with your showing
you've done what you asked so his love allow.

Verse 12
********

Now as you drift between here and there
remember if you can this one errant knight
rusty from time who you taught to share
of all you knew and wanted to take flight.

Verse 13
********

My friend know this for now and forever
I love you as a brother known long ago
so when I feel a little breeze I'll never
the direction you gave and taught me to go.

Verse 14
********

So in Father's time our rest will come again
but remember to leave here is not to rest
much work remains to be done to attain
or this world will never appear at it's best.

Verse 15
********

Think not you are completing a mission
but prepare yourself for greater deeds
others now need your knowledge for admission
the garden grows with ever newly planted seeds.

Verse 16
********

Tis' Father's time that things are known and done
remember this my friend so do not ever worry
he still has lots for you do and some will be fun
Tis Father's time that will always make men scurry.
