In your sorrow

A million years can go by
and no difference it will make
God's hand will reach beyond those years
and your hand gently take

His hand will cover so softly
and place you in the cleft of the rock
where He'll hide you till the day
when the hands of time will stop

And you'll look around on that day
and see Him in full view
carrying that one you love
just waiting there for you.

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
