The Journey

The Journey

I wrote this poem as a song to define my path and feelings as a widower. Time and time again, I felt my Savior's love, bearing me up and helping me to withstand my heavy burden. I am grateful for His love and perfect empathy that led me on a journey through darkness and pain, to renewed happiness and hope, and will eventually lead to reunion and everlasting joy. Hallelujah! May this song bring peace and healing to all with broken hearts.

The Journey

1. My heart, it broke in two, when you were gone
Without you here how could I carry on?
Into the depths of hell I did descend,
Forlorn and ever sad without my friend
I cried and cried until there were no tears
Surrounded by despair and all my fears
I found myself collapsing on my knees
Much like the Savior in Gethsemane

And there I found, my Savior by my side,
The tears I shed, were also those He cried
He understood, with perfect empathy
How lost I felt without you here with me

2. I pressed ahead, bound with the Son of Man
He walked with me, and offered me His hand
Sometimes I fell, and He would raise me up
When I thirsted, He offered me His cup
When I was down, He said, “Be of good cheer.
Find strength in me, for I am with you here.”
And so I went, with Him from grace to grace
Until I came, into a better place.

And there I found, my Savior by my side,
The tears I shed, were also those He cried
He understood, with perfect empathy
My gratitude, for all He'd done for me

3. And now I know, that I shall overcome
And shall prevail, because of Him, the Son
And when I find, my journey here is through
The time will come, when I'm again with you
And sorrow there, shall leave forevermore
Replaced by joy, embedded in our core
Then once again, I'll feel your warm embrace
Reunion sweet, there in that holy place

And there we’ll find, the Savior by our side,
The tears we shed, He also then will cry
He'll understand, with perfect empathy
Our perfect joy, you're once again with me
