My Soul is Worn Out

To Where You Are

My Soul Is Worn Out
My soul is worn out
From its fretting about
Things I can't control
That wage war with my soul...
His love compels us,
Not frenetic angst~
The Love of Jesus,
Not fighting against...
God reaches in love ~
He touches our pain,
Draws our eyes above ~
For He killed death's bane.
Death is but shadow
That blocks out the sun;
Light is what matters
Restored by the Son.
The dark will not stay
For His love breaks through,
Turns death's night to day ~
Eternal Rescue.
To get through death's night ~
"See" by faith, not sight!

I Saw My Daddy...
I saw my Daddy last night
When I looked by faith, not sight...
He looked so debonair
So handsome, young, with dark hair...
I shared with him it was hard
When to his doctor I'd implored,
"Is there not a way to save
My precious daddy from the grave...?"
When there was none, I'd had to share
the news with him, and watch him stare...
Daddy smiled at me, and said,
"It's okay baby: I'm not dead!"
Of course! Startled, I recognized,
I'm talking to him! He's alive!
Then I turned to him as my dad,
"I lost my baby, I'm so sad!"
He hugged me close and said, "I know."
I cried, recalled his child-loss blow,
And knew anew he understood
A parent's angst in Death's Wood.
He hugged me close; I felt his warmth
As his tenderness all 'round me swarmed.
"You've got to look by faith my child
Your baby's not dead; she's alive!"
So sweet to spend time with my dad
And remember true ~ Life's not all sad...
Father, I can hardly wait
To see my loved ones at Heav'ns Gate!
God looks down in sweetest peace ~
"He can see now...who by faith, sees!"
"Humbled Lord, I fall to my knees,
Open th' eyes of my soul Lord, please!"

To Where You Are
~Josh Groban
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be?
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me
From up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me
Every day
Cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe that angels breathe
And that love will live on
And never leave
Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are.
