POEM OF THE MONTH
May 2020
This month's poem is a hymn - written for the Farewell Service
for Denise and William McMurray after many years' leadership
of The Salvation Army Community Church. Stirling, Scotland.
Goodbye - and God be with you
In all your coming days.
For countless acts of kindness
We offer thanks and praise
For work and prayer and worship,
Through many hectic years;
Your service freely given
In laughter, toil and tears.
Farewell! We face a future
Perplexing and unknown.
Relying on God’s mercy
In former blessings shown.
Take hold of His assurance
And prove it ever true:
‘Fear not for I am with you,
My mercies ever new.’
Then welcome, change and challenge!
A busy chapter ends.
You love us and you leave us
To find and serve new friends.
Do deeds of kindness vanish?
God treasures every one.
Faith, hope and joy inspire us
To say ‘Well played! Well done!’
