Here's a cheery one fer you -
Til All The Grievin’s Done

Once we gathered here to sing
Someday we'll gather once again
Til all the grievings done
Bearing all that we have known
We’re being tested to the bone
Til all the grievings done

B part
Seems we’ve never known such loss
Death has borne us bitter cost
Grief has sometimes brought us to our knees
we’ll come with our tears
Some of us no longer here
Til all the grievings done

Light gleams in your misty eyes
Sunshine still dances in your smile
Til all the grievings done
While there’s still more tears to come
Someday we'll hold you til they’re gone
Til all the grievings done

Some losing loved ones, some losing friends
Sometimes it seems there’ll be no end
Such times as these will haunt us all our lives
But we still have our tunes and songs
Still have love that keeps us strong
Til all the grievings done

If I'm not here to sing this song
Perhaps I’ve fallen now I’m gone
Til all the grievings done
May these songs bring you release
In their wake may all know peace
Til all the grievings done

Life has offered many gifts
Some I've known here in your midst
Where rhyme and rhythm rise in blessed song
It’s an ageless legacy
Sharing music lends us strength
Til all the grievings done
