Burn

Waiting for daylight
that never comes
Hoping to stay light
though they've been stung
hurting more than words can say
under the crushing weight
of their world
departing

Were left smarting
from the sting
and crying
as the wings of heaven
wash over our love
her soul and spirit rise up
like a little white dove

Please
hold me Jesus
She held the pieces
I'm cold and alone here now
We really need your help somehow
Please hold me Father
She was our water
and bread
how could she be stolen by death
Come and conquer this land
Please Jesus hold me in your hand

Our world looks dark
the blackness took the lark
The candle has burned out
Our quiet despair is our shout
Angry thought and angry words
rush with tears into a blur
we tear our hearts
were torn apart
can you bring life to these broken parts

Time will never wash away her face
Time can never bring one to replace
Time is a thief but you robbed the grave
so that we might be saved
So we will not sit in darkness you are the light
And even in our grief
you are the relief
we'll see our love again
for love is never dead
You are the light
hold me tight
we will be alright
