I didn't know any of the people who vanished, unfortunately.
I say unfortunately, because the absolute outpour of love and loss for these people speaks strongly for what kind of people they are.
But... I do know what it's like to lose... a lot.
I sing this, for you, for me, for anyone who's ever lost someone they've loved.
And I hope it helps heal, even just a little.

If to distant lands I scatter
If I sail to farthest seas
Would you find and firm and gather 'til I only dwell in Thee?
If I flee from greenest pastures
Would you leave to look for me?
Forfeit glory to come after
'Til I only dwell in Thee

[A soft melody of piano, and violin played in the break]

If my heart has one ambition
If my soul one goal to seek
This my solitary vision 'til I only dwell in Thee
That I only dwell in Thee
'Til I only dwell in Thee

	Thank you. I sang it when my Dad passed away, and it helped me then, so I can only hope it helps others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've heard that. I wouldn't try it with the dinosaurs though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh no. If anything I'd do it 'Say Anything' style, with a boombox playing Peter Gabriel, in the distance. (Reply to this) (Parent)
