Terry Palmer Eulogy

Terry Palmer was one of those diamonds of humanity so precious and rare in this world
Born into an afluent family They ostracized him because he was gay
He lived the hedonostic lifestyle in florida Drugs sex and all vices
His story is an inspiration to me personally

GODS hands touched him
I was drawn back to the mission and I saw him 3 weeks before his death in typical Terry fashion he said he was being sick so someone else didnt have to be.

I embraced him and hugged him on that cold windy day in the sqaure there We told each other we loved one another
I looked into his sapphire blue eyes and told him ill see you soon As i walked away he was befreinding a new inductee into the mission

I met terry at the mission when i lost my job freinds home and health It was the best thing to ever happen to me
He was the first one to approach me as i nervously waited to see if i could get in

He asked me if i knew the lord I barely anwsered him GODS power hadnt touched me yet
He told me of coming to mission to die of HIV because he had nowhere to go

On his death bed he had no more time to live thats what the doctors said years ago and he proved them wrong living and loving in short years more purely than most do in a lfe time

He said he was dying and all he could here was the respirator and the nurses alarm going off
In his vision he heard a clear voice telling him it wasnt him time to die GOD touched Him

He awoke and within a month his white cells and blood were clean
He was HIV free

On that day Terry Palmer started telling his story and winning souls for the kingdom
He earned his wings and sits with JESUS as we speak today

I and Edaurdo and Terry all started college together
He carried my boooks when I had 2 knee surgerys and had to use cruthces for college

He became a christain counselor and minister
We all got our degrees the first and only 3 at mission still to this day to do it

He stayed at mission and changed his life and impacted countless others
He healed his family and they saw him and they came to truly know the lord

He was my freind and I cant wait to go to heaven and see him
I cry not for sorrow but the beauty of a life lived to from destruction to ressurection
I give you my gift terry only that i show people i love and trust for you.

I call this eternity


Summer is gone cold skys of gray.
.My love for you will never fade.

Embace eternity.
Mortal chains broken you are free.

I wont be sad you are gone.
My love will always live on.

Summer is gone cold skys of gray.
My love for you will never fade.

I know where your at at all is well.
You gave all your love and kept none for yourself.

Now you are free to embrace eternity.
Love you showed is forever bright.

Embraced eternity and flew to the light.

Summer is gone cold skys of gray.
Love and hope of GODS grace.

I long to that day to again see your face.
Summer is gone cold skys of gray.
You live in my heart never far away.

I love you Terry.
Tommy

Hurricane

I am a force of nature.I learned to bend and not to break.
As gentle as a kiss from a mother to her sleeping babys face.

Saved from the abyss and I almost missed my chance to.
Give my thanks to GOD above for the chance to say.
To all my freinds, I oh so love you.

Burned up in the fires of my mispent youth.
Cooled off in the winds of time and the light of truth

I whirled in a destruction of rage and pain.
I couldnt stop the hurricane.

Then mercy and forgiveness came to me.
My music and my heart set me free.

It was like a soft lovers heat in a summer rain.

Music and love were my angels that saved me from the hurricane

I am a force of nature,learned to bend and not to break.
As gentle as a mothers kiss to her sleeping babys face

I found my destiny and in my life I found my place.

Saved from the abyss and I almost missed my chance to.
Give my thanks to GOD above for the chance to say.
To all my freinds, I oh so love you.

Burned up in the fires of my mispent youth.
Cooled off in the winds of time and the light of truth

I whirled in a destruction of rage and pain.
I couldnt stop the hurricane.

Then mercy and forgiveness came to me.
My music and heart set me free.


I am a force of nature,learned to bend and not to break.
As gentle as a mothers kiss to her sleeping babys face.

Now I know why.

I was blind but now I see my soul light.
I used to wonder why I would try.
To find the dark instead of the bright.
No longer adrift upon a sea battling the tides.

Finally peace of mind is mine.
Now I know why.
Now I seek peace.
The angry warrior is left far behind.

My words are my painting upon the colored canvas of my life


I was blind but now I see my soul light.
I used to wonder why I would try.
To find the dark instead of the bright.
No longer adrift upon a sea battling the tides

No longer a prisoner of sad and dark ruling my life.
I wish I could give all of the earth the secret that always was inside.
No one but yourself can take the path and find whats hidden revealed in the wisdom of time


Finally peace of mind is mine.
Now I know why.
Now I seek peace.
The angry warrior is left far behind.

My words are my painting upon the colored canvas of my life.


So if your tired and sad and your light is weak.
Ill give you the secret and its yours to keep.
The simple beauty of it makes me weep.
The treasures of this world ruin many a lifetime.
Its the beauty of love and honesty can unlock your soul to shine


No longer a prisoner of sad and dark ruling my life.
I wish I could give all of the earth the secret that always was inside.
No one but yourself can take the path and find whats hidden revealed in the wisdom of time


I was blind but now I see my soul light.
I used to wonder why I would try.
To find the dark instead of the bright.
No longer adrift upon a sea battling the tides.


My words are my painting upon the colored canvas of my life.

Prophecy of truth

In your life you thought the fear would never come.
Many have left and you feel your the only one
.

Lifes clock has you under the gun
Souls mirror truth burns you bright as the sun.


Overwhelmed you want to hide.
Knowledege of mortality eating you up inside

Is there a life on the other side of the coin ?
When you realize for all your arrogance, Time you cannot own.




In your life you thought the fear would never come.
Many have left and you feel your the only one.


You chose the world and materailism as your bride.
But youll leave empty as the pendulum swings you closer to the other side


Lifes clock has you under the gun
Souls mirror truth burns you bright as the sun.

HEAVENS GOLDEN STREETS

This is for my freind,Chris Saul.
Who died at his own hand of fear and depression
and left behind hiis childhood sweetheart and baby girl and freinds who loved him dearly.

I wrote this on a morning of rainy and skys of gray.
I wish I could have told you before you went away.

One day again well meet and Ill see you again on heavens golden streets.

We were just kids in a garage band
We talked of fame and riches with our music.
We would marry supermodels and buy castles and beaches in far away lands
and be young forver and that was our plan.

You cant always win and life hands you defeats.

But I pray. Ill see you on heavens golden streets.

We alaways think to live and never a thought to die.
I think of you and laugh then start to cry

I cant undestand and ill never know why.
You chose not to live and accepted to die

You cant always win and life hands you defeats

But I pray ill see you on heavens golden streets

So in the big rock band in heaven on high
Crank up the amp let the music fly.

In my heart our memories ill always keep.

Till i see you again on heavens golden streets

KNOWING

I know as a man How my time spans and so much undone.
I come into life alone and leave soon forgotten and remembered by no one.


I spent my youth in sin, Was blind and saw again healed from within by GODS son.
I'm not sad Though because Now I know that love and joy healed my soul.


I know that youth is a beautiful rose and that time passes if you don't know.

Your face is a pleasure to see and ill always carry your light with me.



I know as a man How my time spans and so much undone.
I come into life alone and will leave soon forgotten and remembered by no one.

I know every pretty thing the joy it brings to some one.
But all of this earth fades way and soon it will be me to leave this place.

The bittersweet irony is that to me that to truly love is to truly grieve for my friends when their race is done




I know every pretty thing the joy it brings to some one.
But all of this earth fades way and soon it will be me to leave this place.
