The Bright Light
Quietly I sat staring out my bedroom window
Waiting for his return
the Snow begins to fall,and the wind is very cold
my heart begins to yearn
the anticipation is over whelming
my thoughts drifted back to our yesterdays together
Good times... so many good times, so very long ago
memories of our love and laughter filled this room,
Where we had watched the growth of our love
What happened to our love
Was it still lingering somewhere in his heart
somewhere Deep beneath that outer layer
Of paranoia and despair
I watched him leave through the door
Into the cold, dark lonely night
I longed to stop him
I desired to embrace him
this feeling was too hard to fight
So as I sat there all alone,
tears begin to fall from my eyes
tears of loneliness
I felt all alone
no one to hold me
to love me
to comfort me
I felt so incomplete without his love
I long for him
I'd die for him
as these thoughts race in my head
I see the sun rising
and the room begins to brighten
I mean a light so bright
it was like my eyes were open to a new life
that very moment
that bright light was Jesus Christ
he came and said my child
I will never leave you nor forsake you
man will always disappoint you
but I am always here
so dry your eyes my sweet child
don't remain in denial
don't point your finger at another
check your heart, and you will discover
it's my love you ignored
I will never walk away
my love is here to stay
when I heard the voice of Jesus that day
his love I excepted right away
I will never put another before you Jesus
because your love is what I needed
