CASE CLOSED ON JESUS
Each case represents
a unique and irreplaceable member
Each one with his own story
Stories of triumph and disappointm
ent
Of yearning and defeat
Of love lost and then found
Of unforgettable journeys
Some more exciting than others
Yet we are all here now
The emptiness filled
Joyful, at peace,
Journeying together
from this point on.
This much we know,
our cases are closed…
