Flooded Love
Have lost his hands grip
Pa broke down as my hand slipped
I heard him crying my name
Now our lives can’t be the same
Free falling into the enveloping black
Beyond the edge of time I’d lost my track
Then I crashed into the ferocious waters
Carried away and further, my breath became shorter
I gave in, sinking into deep like a small stone
In the dead silence I wasn't alone
There was someone holding up light
Guiding us, leading us right
I no longer spun, I no longer rolled
Laying my faith in Him I followed without a hold
Crossing a gateway towards a second realm
A thousand soul's gleam
Came out of the stream
And out, into the night of dreams
Upward we rose
Higher and close
To a sky that bore
A million stars.
Here is where I now reside
But like his shadow I am by pa's side
He is safe back home
Feels tired and alone
But God's caring and kind
And I am not left behind
Difficult it is this way
But I am not far away
Clouded or crowded may be the sky
But do look up and care to smile
Because right here I am closer than you think
A glinting star at night
And in Sun silhouetted right behind
