Let People Rest In Peace

Let People Rest In Peace  

For the soul has crossed release

And the weight they carried daily  

Has been folded into ease.

Let the whispers fade to stillness

Let the rumors find their end

God has taken every illness

Every wound He came to mend

Let the quiet be their shelter

Let the silence be their crown

Heaven lifted them to altars  

Where no earthly hands reach down.

Let the living rest in mercy 

Let the past at last decrease

God has buried what once hurt them

So their spirit can increase

Let the light that holds them holy  

Be the light that sets you free

For the peace God gives the fallen  

Is the peace He keeps for thee

And when grief begins its echo

When your questions never cease

Trust the One who guards their journey

He alone restores release

He alone completes the story

He alone grants perfect peace
