... The same Creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn today. The crew of the shuttle Columbia did not return safely to Earth; Yet we can pray that all are safely home. May God bless the grieving families, and may God continue to bless America.


 

Names in life are written
Upon the sky with love
All those special loved ones
Whose spirits fly above

Travel on in star bursts
That fill the sky with light
Through the dark of midnight
Forever in our sight

Break of day in beauty
Their message shall arrive
Sending rays of sunshine
That make us so alive

Thank you for the passion
You showed within this course
Columbia our future
Your light will not be lost

For those of us here grieving
We'll know that you are there
Gathered in the goodness
Of God's unending care

Blessings fall upon us
With love on earth we share
Seven stars in heaven
That sparkle with such flair.
