I Will

Don't be afraid You are safe here You can stop and take a deep breath The finish line is near I know you've been running A long time now Do not take another step Without listening to my vow Every tear you cry I will absorb them all I will carry them for you Until the Lord comes to call Every life challenge you may face I will lovingly hold your hand I will stand tall beside you Until my legs become so weak that I no longer can If fear or doubt ever creeps Into your mind I promise to love you even harder Until peace and comfort you find If you are ever feeling sad And a smile is hard to find I will feed your spirit with humor until laughter heals your mind If you become sick or years cause your body to grow ill I will pray at your bedside until I can no longer kneel And When your voice grows old and age takes over the man When songs become harder to sing I'll still be your biggest fan So come here baby In your arms is where I belong You are safe now Your soul has found its way home
