I know your heart is heavy,
but you're not in this alone.
The Lord is always with you
and He'll never leave you alone.

This is what God's Word tells us,
and He's not a man that He should lie.
Mr. Ferguson is with the Lord now-
someday we all must die.

So take time to reflect on his life,
to comfort one another and to cry.
All while preparing to see him again
with the Lord, in heaven on high.

I pray you're there for each other -
unity will keep you strong.
Always remember the Lord is with you
and He'll never leave you alone.

Be blessed.
