Father, How Do I Prepare
When the clouds are dark
hindering my thoughts and my walk
when even at my lowest
not knowing where I'm going
Father how do I prepare?
For the end we all must surely bear
When so many storms I've seen before
when everyday I need you more and more
thinking of all the sacred hearts
I struggle to find a way to depart
to lose another special part
Father how do I prepare?
For the end we all must surely bear
When the tears have drained me unbearably so
and my mind has started to forsake me more
please walk with me, and restore the air
that life has drained over the years
Father how do I prepare?
For the end we all must surely bear
When my heart is feeling lonely
and at times, my burdens heavy
you carried my pain and guided my days
as more and more thorns my body endures
Father how do I prepare?
For the end we all must surely bear
When trials and tribulations test my faith
when I closed my eyes and began to pray
it is you who took hold to comfort my soul
I ask you father within me
Father how do I prepare?
For the end we all must surely bear.
