We Welcome You - With Open Arms -

I don’t know why I cry I’m drenched in silence… I don’t know why You’re flooding my mind tonight… I run around wildly, trying to erase the thought of you, but I hesitate I don’t want to accept this fretful state I’m in… I don’t want to face this dilemma that’s leading me to my fate Are you a part of my crew? Don’t bottle up the tears from deep within Are you a part of my crew? We’ll support you through thick and thin Your face is decorated with elegance! Your words are articulate with reverence! Forever, I feel that my mind is giving in to Grief’s gravity…but don’t lose hope or feel unsure I saw the sun and I welcome it with open arms I saw the sun… I welcome it with open arms I welcome it with open arms I saw you ascending from your resting haven, Hoping that it will melt my doubts and fears away You are a dream come true…you are as fresh as morning dew! You are a dream of reality – not a myth or fantasy Your miracles were bestowed upon me out of the blue You knew what was in my heart – hope, faith and curiosity Promise me you won’t depart from the illuminating knowledge You are stronger than you realize, You are not alone & you are not a failure! How did you know my heart was full of hope, faith and curiosity? Did you sense my appreciation towards you? You set me from captivity! You set me from captivity! You set me from captivity! You made me feel ecstasy and serenity on another level! You are a peace-abiding angel You are a peace-abiding angel, not a wicked devil! Promise me you won’t depart from the illuminating knowledge You are stronger than you realize, You are not alone & you are not a failure! Your halo is illuminating the dark of night I can’t believe you saved me from a horrible plight Your halo was my flashlight in the dead of night Think of Him during your obstacles Fight the good fight and you’ll soon find the light You’ll find the light at the end of the tunnel, You sweet, darling, peace-abiding angel! I hope I can encourage you to go I have faith that you won’t go with the flow Your faith towards Him will grow! Unfortunately, the wicked wind will violently blow I implore you to go run the extra mile… Go run the extra mile… Stay here with me for a while… Stay here with me for a while… Stay here with me for a while! Oh Lord, I pray to you before the dawn… You built me up with might and everything’s black and white Everything’s black and white You reassured me that everything will work out alright Everything will fall into place If you could play your role well and ring those hopeful bells, Then we’ll be able to share the attitude of gratitude and grace No longer drenched in farewells… no longer locked up in solitude cells Promise me you won’t depart from the illuminating knowledge You are stronger than you realize, You are not alone & you are not a failure! Come on and join us As we welcome the sun We welcome the sun We welcome the sun We welcome you with sunlit glee and open arms . . .
