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
