Heaven helps
heaven waits to save
comfort when you fall
when your heart sinks
and no one comes
even if you ask, you cry
you call.
Heaven stands strong
stands tall
reaching down, lifting up
saving you, giving
asking nothing back
nothing at all.

Tortured and sad
struggle to understand
the world in my world
beyond the bad.
See the goodness
believe and be glad
for tomorrow
may be better
nothing
tortured nor sad.

Already heard
the answer
Made my decision
right or wrong
Will believe
in
that answer
Made clear
and
so profound.

You hold me close
I seek
listen to your advice
the world seems small
within my grasp
when I follow
your quiet, beckoning call.
I may accomplish
what needs to be done
I may succeed
not unravel
become undone.
But that depends upon
my hearing your wise words
of
things happened
and
those yet to be heard.

Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me be safe in your arms forever
And
Thru this dark, dark night.
Let me see the love you give
Feel your presence holding me
Hear your words of wisdom
Evermore
Forever, into eternity.

When
I feel your presence
When
I stand beside of you
I can’t fail
for
there you’ll be
holding. guiding me
all
the way through.

No more
Can no one say.
No more to hear
To see.
No more will be suffice
To carry us through this day
This night.
No more to feel
What wasn’t felt
Yesterday.
No more
Will there be
A difference between us.
No more you, no more me
No more.

Looking out upon the vast history
Of life lived
And made better with dignity.
All is well
And will be the best there is
He saids.
As he reaches down
And kisses me
Upon my undeserving head.

No one
No one goes down the road
I need to go
no one sees the things I see
no
no one does
no one feels
the pain
the shame I can’t conceal
I’m sure
no one does
But up above, surrounding me
is a presence that I know
I feel, I see
holds,
embraces me
Guiding me throughout
this perilous journey
like no one else ever does
no one
no one does.
