Listen To the Warmth

In life at times we must say goodbye to those we love
                                To those we hold close in the very recess of our being
                                 It is then we cry because we have them no more
                                  I'll let you go walk with Jesus forevermore
                                 To keep my place here now that your gone
                                  A narrow road I've found myself on.  
                                   As I walk along with my heart heavy and my head bowed low
                                     To keep myself company I sing a song
                                      Merciful LORD I belong to you
                                              Wonderful God you are
                                  I no longer feel heavy and my head is lifted high
                                      The quickened pace of my heart I can feel as it beats in my breast
                                         The souls of my feet running as fast as they can
                                     My inner man begins to jump and leap 
                                              As the presence of Jesus captures me
                                   I now know that your departure is but for a time
                                   I can rejoice, I can sing, I can run, I can dance, I can praise
                                       The Christ Son of God my best friend whom I love
                                      Jesus stay close to me and live in me as I have loved
                                       That When I myself am departed and gone
                                        You've shone so brightly and burned so within
                                              That if one hangs their head low
                                                   They too sing a song
