For Sarah

Sarah – a good friend from church – has done spectacularly well in her A levels and yesterday went off to Durham to begin her degree course. Her friends at Breathe [the Sunday Night Youth Bible Study Group] asked me to make a special keepsake Farewell Card which they could all sign for her. Gary – one of the group leaders, and member of the Worship Group had written a song for the occasion so here is the card…

…and inside. Before returning it, I used my friend Janet’s Cricut to cut the letters for her name.  You cannot see it, but rhe beige backing paper is printed with sepia music [Sarah is an accomplished flautist] Gary’s song…

Leaving our familiar surroundings,
Going on to something new
New horizons,
New beginnings.

Leaving behind all the things we know
All the things we love so well,
Moving on, To the new things.

Wherever we go, God goes with us,
Whatever we do, He is there,
We can follow our dreams, wherever they take us
Because we know we’re in His care.

We don’t know what lies ahead for us,
We don’t know whatever will be,
As we move on, Go where He takes us.

With confidence and with strength
We can take it in our stride
Stepping out In faith.

We can face whatever is before us,
We can keep moving on and have no fear,
If we pray to God for the strength we need,
He’ll show us where the way is clear.

Wherever we go, God goes with us,
Whatever we do, He is there,
We can follow our dreams, wherever they take us
Because we know we’re in His care.
