Revelation 21:4 KJV- And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Take my hand, precious Lord
And lead me toward home
I long to build a life that You have
Blessed, a life that is more than
Merely materialistic things
More than just my needs
But a life that is filled up with
Your insights, inspirations
Your dedication to my faith

I want to bring You my hopes
With assurance that I always know
You have everything worked out
I don’t need to worry or plan
You have it all there in your hands
Everything I need and all I could want
All my blessings poured out on me
Through a love that I so often burning
Fervently, inside me with joy and light
Feelings that are more than alive
They’re like a fire falling from the sky
Sanctifying my entire life, my heart
My soul and more… every part of my love

You are my wisdom and my strength
You lift me up when I’m so very weak
You carry me onward when I’m so afraid
You always love me and make a way
To rain down tenderness across my spirit
Free my mind from its darkest fears
Reminding me why I need You so much
You’re the answer to my every want
You keep me sane and inspire me to cope
With everything that comes, all the worry
The loss, the loneliness, the anxiety
You make a way where no way has been
You see me through the nightmares and dread
Free my soul from its place of terror
Guide my heart toward my sweetest desires

You silence the doubts that plague my soul
Show me just the right way to go toward hope
You prepare the way so that my journey home
Is filled with peace that quiets every storm
You are the light that fills up the night
Bringing me warmth dancing through my faith
You linger here with me when I’m so alone
Giving me assurance that I always have your love
And whatever comes, wherever I might go
You’ll be there with me, showing me the path
That will lead me toward the home that awaits
The home on high where my friends will never die
And where I will go when my journey is done

I seek You and your love above everything I know
You’re more than life – You’re the greatest gift
From a God who knows my heart and my soul
And gives me the hope of a heaven where I’ll know
You are the answer that saved my heart and soul
Freed me from the sorrow of a life with no hope!

I made this a FAV, Gina. It spoke to my heart and soul. I can feel some of the things you feel, a sense love loving desperation, while knowing it is all in His hands. It all has a purpose, but the world doesn't know us, and it seems all there is, is His love. It is enough. We are blessed. Love in Him that is Love, Bill
