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,
So hold on to your faith - believe in the truth;
And remember that God will not forsake you.
