No More
Goodbyes
by
Barbara Philbrook
Lord I'm
looking forward to the day when there'll be no more
goodbyes,
they make my heart ache and they bring tears into my
eyes.
There are
people who we love Lord who we have to be away from,
who we can't always see or talk to or if we need them to
just say come.
The
distance makes it difficult to enjoy the time we'd like
to share rather than to be apart,
it gives us this constant ache within our heart.
But there
is that time to look forward to Lord when we'll all be
home with you,
and in that day Lord saying goodbye is something we will
never have to do.
Oh how I'm
looking forward to that day Lord I'll be thrilled when
finally it is here,
but until that day comes Lord our goodbyes will still
cause a few tears.
There is
much to do to give everyone a chance to make the choice
that they must make,
so I must be careful of the time I let those tears take.
Thank You
Lord for teaching me about the choice that I made to
accept salvation from you,
and for allowing me to share your story of love with
others as you've permitted me to.
Thank You
Lord for giving us the knowledge that we will one day be
with you to stay,
and thank you for the time each day that you allow us to
come to you to pray.
Thank You
Lord for the tears that goodbye's make us shed,
all the more we'll appreciate it when there's no more
need of tears due to things we dread.
Thank You
Lord for loving us and for allowing us to love each other
too,
Thank you Lord most of all just for being You!
