John Wayne ClarkApril 10, 1942 - August 15, 1998
Ten years ago, my father, John, passed away suddenly at the age of 56. It was very devastating to me and my family. All of our lives changed in that one instant. Not a day goes by without me thinking about him.
Below is one of the songs that was sung at my father's funeral. Every time I hear this song, it takes me back to that day.
We Remember
by Marty Haugen
Refrain: We remember how you loved us to Your death,
And still we celebrate for You are with us here.
And we believe that we will see You when you come in Your glory, Lord.
We remember, we celebrate, we believe!
1. Here, a million wounded souls
Are yearning just to touch you and be healed;
Gather all your people, and hold them to your heart.
Refrain
2. Now we recreate you love,
We bring the bread and wine to share a meal;
Sign of grace and mercy, the Presence of the Lord.
Refrain
3. Christ, the Father’s great “Amen”
To all the hopes and dreams of every heart;
Peace beyond all telling, and freedom from all fear.
Refrain
4. See the face of Christ revealed in every person standing by your side.
Gift to one another and temples of Your love.
