There Is A Time
This day is the anniversary of the day you left me
As I cried and begged you to stay for I could not see;
The time had come for us to go our separate ways
Though I could not see that through my tearful gaze.
I remember the last time I held you in my arms
Knowing without you I could not face evil's alarms;
You were my strength and the root of my faith
That kept me going even in the darkest wraith.
I remember your last words as you left me alone
When I said I need you. I can't make it on my own.
Your clear voice said, yes, you can until the end.
You have your heavenly Father. He will defend.
Years have passed since that day you left me,
Not once has He left me; the truth I now see;
For all things there is a time and a season
And there's still so much that must be done.
There is a time to laugh and a time to cry,
A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant and to reap, to kill and to heal;
To mourn, to dance, to be silent, to speak, to feel.
There is a time for war and a time for peace,
A time for love and for hate, to begin, to cease;
Every life has a purpose to fulfill every day
And we choose what we do and what we say.
The Father 's promise is we will meet again
Without the deception, without the pain;
So I ask Him to remain close by my side,
For you, Mother, are in His light I cannot hide.
