By my side
08/19/2018
He loves me
Like the lighting of the sun
Like the healing of a heart
I felt his love within me start
I had felt it before,
So familiar but new
Inside my heart something beautiful grew
I felt he understood,
When I was alone
The burden I carried
In my heart, the black stone
It didn’t disappear
Its still just as black,
But I see it with new eyes
When I look back
I see why I suffered,
Why I lost a dear love
I see who was with me
By my side, and above
He knew where I’d be
He knew how I felt
He knew my breaking heart
When before him I knelt
And that’s why I now see
He came down from above,
To take on him the sins
And the grief that accompanies love
He came down and suffered
So that he could know
And when it was my turn,
I wouldn’t be alone.
I lost my dear
I lost my sweet heart
But I gained an understanding
And from there I can start
I am building a new life,
In which Christ will abide
He was there
And will always be
Right by my side
