I'm sitting here to tell you now,
to say what's on my mind;
I know it's hard, you miss him so,
in just so little time!

He lived his life to share his love,
with you and others 'round;
He picked you up, brushed off the dirt
those times you'd fallen down!

So strong in life, just young in age,
so wise at just a teen;
He's never really gone for good,
you'll see him in your dreams!

I know right now it hurts so bad,
you feel you're ripped apart;
You'll always have a place for him
reserved in broken heart!

Just take some time to grieve a bit,
don't once quit pressing on;
'Cause with those memories made with him
He's never really gone!

My Lord and King I come to you,
don't know quite where to start;
You know just what I'm going through,
each burden on my heart!

You know the struggles here on Earth,
the sorrow, pain and strife;
I need your presence here today,
Your hand upon my life!

At times like this when life seems hard,
the devil means me harm;
I find such strength to see You stand
right there with open arms!

Direct my paths, show me the way
to follow Your command;
Please open up my eyes to see,
direction of Your plan!

I thank you for just keeping me
as shepherd keeps his flock;
My King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
My Master and My Rock!

When hard times come in life you live,
your back's against the wall;
They all seem big, so hard to cross
each hurdle seems too tall!

Keep focus on the prize ahead,
keep moving at your pace;
Just look ahead to cross that line
and soon you'll win life's race!

Don't 'ere lose hope, keep pressing on,
keep doing what is right;
Just charge ahead to win the war,
don't once give up the fight!

When forced to climb the mountainside,
at times you'll feel so weak;
Just forge ahead, keep looking up,
for soon you'll reach the peak!

Now at the top, just look around
to see how far you've come;
You've beat the odds, as victor now,
in life you're number One!

I know that I have left you now,
so heartbroken and alone;
Don't grieve for me, I'm more than good,
since now I'm Home sweet Home!

I just walked through Big Pearly Gates,
saw Peter standing by;
I met the Angels one by one,
they taught me how to fly!

Then Paul and Silas showed me 'round,
through srtreets all paved with gold;
Each saint's so young and happy here,
it's true, not one soul's old!

I just heard someone call my name,
I turned in time to see;
A group of loved ones gone before,
come running up to me!

You won't believe the music here,
the Angels have a band;
I met my Jesus, face to face,
and touched His nail-scarred hands!

I'm still in awe, I feel so good
no aches and pains at all;
The blind man now can see for once,
the lame man standing tall!

So now you see, 'Tis Glory Land
no longer that 'ole world;
When Jesus calls I'll meet you here
behind these Gates of Pearl!

There's not too many people,
who have but one true friend;
A shoulder for to lean on,
on whom they can depend!

Someone who'll always be there,
for when in time of need;
That special one who'll always lend
a hand or helping deed!

A friend who'll always help you,
they'll go the extra mile;
Someone to hold you up all day
if only with a smile!

A person who will listen
when pouring out your heart;
The one who's never left your side,
they've been there from the start!

That wholesome leader as a friend
who's lifted you in prayer;
That special one you'll never doubt
or question if they're there!

The one who never judges you,
as sin in life you trod;
The one who's always knelt and prayed
you'd turn your life to God!

I thank God for your friendship,
through sorrow, pain and strife;
I pray someway I can repay
your friendship in my life!

Have you not been what you should be
as a husband, father or dad?
Have you not been any leader,
failing My God, oh-so-bad?

Have you said you will on one day,
then the next you really won't?
Have you hurt the ones who love you,
hanging with the ones who don't?

Have you pushed away your family
with the hateful words you've said?
Have you spoken words of anger
then run out the door and fled?

Have you seen the hurt you've caused them,
had a son who wished you're there?
Have you once had to console her
when your daughter cried those tears?

Have you held her tight in loving arms
when your wife had one bad day?
Have you crushed her heart again,
cause she knew you wouldn't stay?

Have yo failed your son and daughter
with the sinful life you live?
Have you ever thought about it,
what your wife has had to give?

Have you opened up your eyes now,
put yourself aside and pause?
Have you felt their broken hearts from
all the hurt and pain you caused?

Have you reached the very end now
of the sinful life you trod?
Have you seen your family needs you?
It's not too late, just turn to God!

Have you asked My God forgiveness?
Yes, your broken hearts, He'll ease.
Have you shown them what He's done now,
filled your life with joy and peace?

Have you gotten back your family,
fought so hard for those who care?
Have you prayed to God above you,
for His love with them to share?

Have you called on Him to help you,
your relationship repaired?
Have you now seen it's important
to your family if you're there?
