In God's Hand
Threw the darkness, he heard God speak
in a voice as calm as the sea,
my child you've suffered far too long
so I've come to set you free'.
Heaven’s light grew brighter
as GOD reached to take his hand,
and then he heard the angels singing
off in the distant land.
Sensing his hesitation, God said
My son, have no fear,
it's not a time for sadness
as GOD brushed away a tear.
My Lord', the man replied
There's no sorrow in my tears,
only that of joy and happiness
for this is what I wanted...
for so many years'.
Finally at peace he turns
taking one last look around,
then, with his head held high
he walks on, towards the angels sound.
