"A Brief Time"
A brief time in this life
Was I with you at your side
But the memory of me you hold
For a lifetime shall you keep.
Never the good times we had
Shall ever escape your heart.
For me this I do pray
That no tears shall you shed
While so short was my life
The purpose of God I served
After the time He allotted for me
From this world was I called above.
Never did I wish to leave you behind,
But His angel He sent to bring me home
In the Father's house now I reside,
Worshiping at His throne so pure white.
No more pain in body or soul
Only joy and peace to reside here
But this one question I do have
To ask now of you...
Why within the heart of your soul
Hate for the Father do you allow?
For never once did He cause the pain,
That stole me away from your side.
How with your Father in Heaven
Can these feeling you hold in your heart?
No longer now can I hold you tight,
But as He has done from eternity past,
In His arms does He hold you close.
Waiting to comfort the heart of your soul
The hurt now no more do I suffer,
For the heavy burden of life now has gone.
From my eyes the tears of pain have fled.
Now replaced with the joy He has given
He does now await my love so dear,
For you your face towards His to turn.
So the tears that flow as though a river,
Away He may wipe as though never there.
Also to you does He desire to give,
The peace and joy He holds for you
Turn to our Father my love so dear,
Entrust to Him all your fear and pain.
For in the Lord no pain may live
Joy and love only may survive in His hold.
His light does shine through all that is,
Chasing away the darkness that surrounds.
He gives all that is right and pure
To His children so dear in His heart
So turn my love and rest in His embrace
For in His arms peace does reside forever more.
