Never Alone

Never Alone Lost and alone my heart cries Into a million pieces it seems broken My mouth utters, Lord Why? From this nightmare, may I please awaken. All the stars in the nighttime skies Appear dulled like a tarnished token. Love should never have “goodbyes”. Hear the silence and pain beyond what is spoken. Protected in the shelter of the Father’s arms Tears are dried and hearts are mended. Lift your head my weary child For from bended knee you can see the heavens. Rejoice! rejoice! and know although the body dies Songs of triumph ring out as the gates of pearl open wide The soul is transformed and rises To soar with the angels up to the Father’s throne. Where all in one accord bow and proclaim him King Kneeling on the streets of gold, harps softly play Emerald, rubies, diamonds, unending do not compare With the presence of the Lord. Do not weep my child Just take my hand the Father gently calls Reaching his hand down to each of us Lifting us out of the darkness One foot in front of the other One day and then another Soon memories fill what was once just a hole Left by death, filled by faith in the promises of God.
