Golden beams shine through the open window,

a soft breeze blows gently through the screen.

Birds sing a song of cheerful beginnings;

In the distance blares a car's alarm.

The world's kept on turning,

day after day, like it's always been.

Yet here I am still yearning

for your heart to beat again.

One more day to hear your laugh,

just a minute to see you smile.

All I have is this old photograph,

but I'll see you in just a little while.

I know you're so much better off

away from pain, away from fear.

I feel like God can't help but scoff

when I say I need you here.

I know you're where you're meant to be,

I know I shouldn't cry.

But I still want you here with me,

and I want God to tell me why.

Why did he take you?

Why couldn't you stay?

Why did you leave me?

Why can't I be okay?

When will this get better?

God, can't you take my doubt?

This rain just gets wetter

and I can't find the out.

But, God, I know you're with me

and I know your plan is good

I'm content to just be

while things go as they should.

I live firmly in your promise

to wipe away every tear.

My loved ones I'll always miss,

but come, Lord Jesus, you're the one who needs be here.
