Guiding Star

I cried aloud into the night as I sat before the grave Seeking holy answers for the son I could not save Asking the Lord to light the way Keeping my journey from going astray I told him of my burdens and the sadness in my heart I’d never felt so alone or so very far apart Why did you take my child, Lord? I just can’t understand No longer can I touch his face or hold his precious hand I'm angry, God, missing him and drowning in my sorrow Please help me heal my yesterday and face each new tomorrow It was then I heard his voice and felt a presence near How I wanted to hold him as I shed another tear Dad, I'm safe now and my spirit is flying free I'm singing in Heaven’s choir, so please don't cry for me I was chosen by the Father above, and now I'm in His care When you need me, look inside your heart, I promise to be there No one can take away our bond with one another For I will always be your precious child, as you will be my father So if you can’t find your way, or the road to home seems so very far Just look to the twinkling night and I will be your guiding star
