I lost one of my best friends over the weekend, to cancer. Pastor Mark Steele was a man who absolutely poured his life into loving God and shepherding people. We will miss him beyond words. Corinne's and my heart are with his family and his church. I'm posting this lyric from a song I wrote years ago, as a tribute to Mark, as he moves from life to Life, and as a reminder to all of us of the hope we can hold. 
...I'll miss you, Cap'n. what a day it will be
what a day it's gonna be
when as last your captive heart beats free
and all that is within you sings
in heaven's own harmony
sweet release from all your darkest fears
the sound of laughter that's been lost for years
you'll never cry another lonely tear
as your sad heart finally
finally sings
hallelujah
what a day it will be
all those angels that you've never seen
watching over you behind the scenes
will at last have reached their goal
presenting you restored and whole
just watch the Father laugh and smile
lifting up His joyful child
and hear the host of heaven sing
in a sweet and soulful angel choir singing
hallelujah
what a day it will be
hallelujah
what a day it will be
even now in the in between
we could write it off as an impossible dream
but it's more than a dream to me
'cause even now i can see
enough to believe
