I Wish for You

I wish I could take it away for you;

All the pain and sorrow - that seems to torment you.

I wish I could say I’ve walked down that road;

Have it be enough to lighten your load.

I want so desperately to reach out in some way.

Try to comfort you and say,

“You can do it, I know you can.”

“Set your heart and take your stand.”

It’s just not that easy though.

This is some where only you can go.

As much as I hope and try;

I can only hope to stay close by.

Looking in on you through prayer;

In the morning and evening, with much care.

Trusting our Lord to take care of you

Believing him to see you through.

And so I shall do this with all of my might.

Remembering you, morning, noon and night.

So hold on to your faith - believe in the truth;

And remember that God will not forsake you.
