Lean on the Lord

by Lucy M. Young

Dear little girl, "adopted daughter,"
Your grief and anguish break my heart.
Your love has left you for a time,
But it is just a temporary separation.
Believe, my dear, that he is waiting
Just beyond that closing door
For you to go to him.

He loved you dearly,
And that love you shared with him
Will last forever.
It will sustain you through the lonely days and nights ahead.

Lean on the Lord.
His love and strength will hold you up
And gently comfort you.
He'll hold your hand
And help you through the emptiness you feel
Until that glorious day when once again
You will be reunited with your love
Forever.
