To have persevered until the end for that which he felt gave God the honor. It is up to each of us to continue the hard work of bringing God back to His rightful place in our country not only for Pastor Hawkins but for all who have given their all for the rest us. Thank God for HIs Blessings and perfect timing. May we all learn from this man’s example.

Jane

Tonight one of the members had been thinking of Gilbert all day and read the words to a Steve Green song. We were all touched because it fit Gilbert so well and reminded us of the way he lived his life inspiring those around him to always be faithful.
We’re pilgrims on the journey of the narrow road
And those who’ve gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God’s sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who’ve gone before us, let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave, lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we’ve left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave, lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave, lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
