We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.

Mary from Galway Bay
Mo croí in tenderness it weeps
a-fallen, that Mary lives ní hea more
rare are the days we long to keep
yonder on life's setting shore.

Far away from Galway Bay
restored to life on th'other shore
on-hand to hear what He would say,
my Savior from the Evermore.

God gave us time to sing some hymns,
always her smile would light the room,
lady blest with joyful eyes, her accent trim
was carried 'way to lie in tomb,
and canna smile at news so grim
ya know this fate for all doth loom.

Bonnie lass o' many'a year,
a-gone ye bringst me many'a tear,
ye knowest now not any'a fear.
