From Life To Eternity

Hidden down
Down deep inside
Are all the tears
I never cried.

I smile and nod
And play the part
Few have known
My broken heart.

I've tried and tried
To put away
All that happened
Yesterday.

Yesterdays
They pile up
Their bitter acid
Fill up lifes cup.

No one knows
The path I've been
Damaged by 
The other's sins.

No one knows
The horror I dread
When my dreams
Replay the life I led.

In my dreams
She touches me
She holds me tight
I cannot flee.

In my dreams
Knocked on the floor
"Stand up now
So I can give you more."

In my dreams
My lovers betray
My illusions die
They blow away.

In my dreams
My children gone
Hidden from me
The path they're on

The sun rises
I face the day
To again pretend
I'm A-okay.

The past is gone
I turn to prayer
To the one I know
Who is always there

The love of God
Will bring me home
To where no one
Stands alone.

No pain No tears
No shades of grey
No one  lies
No one betrays.

A sweet smell
Fills up my head
As Jesus comes
To stand  by my bed.

"I dried your tears
I kept you alive
So others would hear
You testify.

Your sorrow here
Was not in vain
It brought others
Out of Satan's reign.

You were the voice
For the ones beyond
Who counted on you
To carry on.

Reach out to me
We'll go away
Hold on tight
Be not afraid.

Take my hand
My loyal one
It's time to go
Your time here is done."
