For years we were a trio



Helen, Jo and I.



We loved to sing the songs of love



and Heaven by and by.







We sang without accompaniment



Accapela was our style



And everywhere we sang with joy



And loved it all the while.







We sang in churches here and there



And those who hear were blessed



For we were being used by God



And always did our best.







But Jo departed from this live



And she was badly missed



But Helen and I continued on



A duet with a twist.







For Helen played piano



For the One that she adored.



We sang duets or she accompanied me.



Making music for our Lord.







Although our music has been stilled



Erased by earthly pain.



One day - when we reach Heaven's shore



Our trio will sing again!







Accompanied by the Angels



And Heaven's holy band



We will be united



And forever we shall stand.







Singing praises to our God



With voices loud we'll sing,



filled with love and joy and peace



Praises to our King.







- Christine Elliott
