I can be your shelter when your world is rocked I can open door that once were only locked I will be your strength when you are weak I will be the refuge you so desperately seek My gift of grace is all that you could ever need Run into my arms and find yourself freed I give you peace, my peace I give to you Let it wash over all that you say and do Weeping turns to laughter, night turns into day The world fades, my love will not pass away Talk with me, walk with me Stay with me, pray with me Cry with me, sigh with me I understand better than you can imagine How my heart aches for you, you can't fathom Let me hold you, let me console you Lean on me and let me show you The difference one life, one light, can make When it shines bright like a candle in the dark Like a beacon, a lighthouse to safe harbor Dance and laugh and sing There is hope in suffering This is not an end, but a beginning For so many await our coming From our birth into eternal life To welcome us into our new home The pain remains for those behind But we can smile through the tears If we live with this thought in mind: We'll be together for eternity's years
