And then the spirit of The Lord
Prayed over the repose of my sleeping body
Right then
Angels came to lift my soul
Youth became and I was made whole
Each moment of my suffering
Released
For my life had many trials
Only for me to bear
Redeemer take me into thy heart
Trusting in you has turned my suffering in to peace
Having seen you face to face
Erich those that I leave behind
Dying brings me into eternal life
You are my heart song
I go now to sleep
Now I shall wake in your forgiving arms
God prepare my way... Amen

Wonderful Acrostic prayer this is. This was very profound and deep. I found this very very personal like, in the way this piece was worded.
It was as if there is a very deep communion going on between the person saying the prayer for the dying, and God. Wondeful again my friend. This touched me.
