Lean on the Lord

with Wayne and Chance
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.

He’ll Be Waiting

Dear sister, mother of the son I never had,
I share with you the sadness and the emptiness
His passing leaves.
I cannot know the depth of sorrow that you feel
Because I did not bear him,
But I loved him
As I'm sure I would have loved him
Had he been my own.

We cannot wish him back to suffer as he did,
But neither can we keep from missing him.
We know he's with the Lord.
He's happier than he ever was on earth;
And when we go to meet our Saviour,
He'll be waiting also with that special smile
To greet us.
With joy we'll embrace him
And never have to part from him again.
