atrocities of the world
have left me frozen inside
and now all I want
is a place to hide

blood and bullets
flying through the air
brother killing brother
and neither care

babies dying
by the doctors blade
children go missing
girls to slave trade

every night
I lay in bed
pray for the living
and then for the dead

my simple request is
for all to heal
and every child
to get a hot meal

in the end
sister and brother
cause like they say
we only have each other

waking up
there by my side
the woman I love
my beautiful bride

stepping out
just before dawn
a heavy dew
has covered the lawn

the sun rising
in a beautiful display
this has the makings
of a wonderful day

feeling blessed
touched by the Lord
throughout my life
I'm the tip of His sword

life was empty
not feeling whole
until He came
and filled my soul

sometimes sour
sometimes sweet
because of Him
my life's complete

To my dearest love

now you're in heaven
forever you will run
joyful and carefree
a young girl having fun

always youthful
not growing old
never feeling pain
so I've been told

no more worry
not another sleepless night
you are with God
and all of His might

facing life
without you by my side
is a pain
impossible to hide

when I go to bed
I pray every night
that soon I will die
and go into the light

waiting for eternity
my beautiful bride
soon I'll be there
forever by your side

your beloved husband
