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.
