Bill Leahy

It still hasn't really hit me yet. I keep telling myself that it is real, but it doesn't make sense. My mind keeps telling me that he's gone, maybe to remind myself or make it sink in. I can't believe he's really done with this world... I'm jealous sometimes but I know that we all have our purpose here on earth for the glory of God. Bill served God, and I'm happy to say, he had to fly.

Time to Fly

You took the call to serve
and you took to the sky
gave your time to the lesser kind
lived by faith and not by sight

I feel the need
to follow you
'cause you followed Christ...

You planned your life and then
you raised a family
gave your love to friends in need
stood for what you believed

I feel the need
to follow you
'cause you followed Christ...

Your time to fly
to reach the heavens and know
the joy that's waiting there.
Your time to fly,
to finally know the answers
we were always searching for.
Your time to fly,
to follow Christ in ways
we can only dream on earth...
I feel the need
to follow you...
'cause you had to fly.

You had a sense of selflessness,
a quiet air of peace
We knew that you were listening
the way you paused when we would speak.

I feel the need
to follow you
'cause you followed Christ...

Did you know that very instant
that you had gotten your reward?
Is it everything we heard about?
Do you run on streets of gold?

I wish I could
follow you
‘cause you followed Christ…

Your time to fly
to reach the heavens and know
the joy that's waiting there.
Your time to fly,
to finally know the answers
we were always searching for.
Your time to fly,
to follow Christ in ways
we can only dream on earth...
I feel the need
to follow you...
'cause you had to fly.
