"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior"
We will forever miss you Christian & you will always be in our hearts. And i know you will still be here to guide all that you love forever and always, until we meet again Captain
