ShareOur dear friends, pilot Daniel Lui, nurse Janelle Alder, and their 3 passengers have been missing somewhere over the ocean of south Philippines for almost three weeks now. After hundreds of hours and thousands of miles of searching, all we have found is a pillow and a pair of shoes. The search continues and we are still hoping for the best! But the barren search has left many of us struggling with how to feel and what to think. The sense of loss is real and the sorrow is raw. A few nights ago, I was hit with overwhelming sadness of the possibility of not finding our friends and them not being with us anymore. My tears were not only for the missing 5, but for all of us left with overwhelming sadness and frustrating confusion at their disappearance. As I sat in the sadness and confusion, my heart became encouraged by words that came to me, suddenly in the night. A new song from heaven, to bring rest and relief to my soul. I’ve never written a song before. But this first one is very special to me. It was roughly written and recorded in only an hour. It still needs fine tuning and I may rewrite it later. But here it is. It’s a child’s lullaby, dedicated to the children in the jungle who may struggle to sleep at night because their local superhero is still missing. Their one and only medivac helicopter pilot is gone. Many of them are asking, who will come rescue us now? As a lover of children, my heart hurts for them. I hope the words of this song will bring comfort and hope to all of God’s children, in the jungle, and around the world, as it did for me. Each verse was written to capture the perspective and offer hope to those who are most closely affected by the disappearance of our friends. Here are the lyrics. Mahalo for sharing! The Final Flight By Taj Pacleb Angelic hero O how we miss you You’re somewhere out there Beyond our sight Our hearts our hurting We’re searching for you Have you taken, your final flight? Angelic healer O how we miss you Kindest nurse with The healing touch We have your shoes here But we will not fear For your light, still shines in our night Heartbroken family Our hearts breaks with you Our heroes happily Laid down their lives Just like Jesus, The one who holds you And your 3, He held on that flight Beloved children In the jungle Our hero’s gone now But don’t you fright Your Father knows you And he will rescue you In the coldest and darkest of nights Beloved Princess Whose touch brings healing We are all with you In peace and pain Your husband gave all For the sacred call Soon Jesus will take all the pain Angelic heroes We deeply miss you The search is barren Our heads not right But Christ is coming We’ll finally find you! Reunited on clouds in the sky Daniel Lui, we salute you Janelle Alder, your name remains Beloved family, our God is with you What is loss for Christ, only gain! Beloved hearer What will you do now? With all the blessings Of precious time Let us now live, Just like they did With aloha to light up the night An ocean of questions on the rise A stormy tempest deep inside But the Pilot shall never die His peace I have inside So rest now our heroes, for tonight And we shall see you on that final flight You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You never know dear, How much I love you Please don’t take my sunshine away. Please don't take our heroes away.
