Remembrance

No words can take away our sorrow or our pain
Or bring our loved ones back to us again
Our hearts now sad and sore from mortal pain
God's infinite wisdom supremely he shall reign
To know their eyes are tearless while our eyes weep
We think of their eternity of sleep
One thought shall still it's primal sweetness keep
They are just a mortal breath away
We cannot see what lies beyond the veil
Or understand the sorrows that prevail
The promises of God shall forever stand
Have faith in God it is the Lord's command
Life slips past so quickly from the moment we are born
Memories and treasures loved ones shared are so swiftly gone
Life is a magnificent radiant splendor our mortal eyes behold
Graciously given to us by God's eternal love

Scotland Land Of My Birth

Scotland with your banks and braes mountains valleys moors and rivers
The greenest grass you have ever seen the rainiest of weather
You can hear the bagpipes playing and see the swirl of kilts
Each clan has a history of their own Clan Crest and Tartan Kilt
The Highland Fling and Sword Dance still danced by the Scots today
Red cheeked and bright eyed lassies sincerely dedicated to their heritage
Velvet jackets kilts and crests medals hanging on their vests
Won for the special quality of dancing that they display
My Father John Ross Campbell has left his Clan to me
Blue Plaid Tartan Kilt and Crest I treasure in my memory
Bluebells in the meadows that grow in bunches wild
I gathered them so many times when I was just a child
Mountains shared with deer purple heather on the hills
The Bonnie Banks Of Loch Lomond a piper playing bagpipes at his will
The Scots are a warm and happy folk with a robust lust for life
They sing and dance to entertain you in their typical Scottish style
They first foot one another every New Year's Eve
First person to enter a home after 12 p.m. brings luck for the year to come
This is their custom and belief it always has been done
Auld acquaintance meet and greet for the days of "Auld Lang Syne"

Christmas

Jesus Christ the Son of God was born on Christmas Day
No silks or satins or grandeur things for this child to display
His shelter was a stable a manger was his cradle
God in his infinite wisdom sent his Son to earth
The flesh and precious blood of Jesus Christ
Saved the world from sin and death uniting heaven and earth
Three wise men came to Bethlehem to find the newborn King
Gold, myrh and frankincense these gifts the wise men bring
A star shone brightly in the east to guide them on their way
They followed it to the stable in Bethlehem where the Christ child lay
Angels sing their praise on high alleluias fills the sky
Christmas all rejoice and sing heaven and earth proclaim his name
Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace their King
