and shortly was it said,
If they can't find their way oh Lord,
then bring him here instead.
Guide his heart and make him strong
if he should have to leave,
But Lord, should he decide to stay,
then help me when I grieve.
It didn't take you long to hear,
and answer that nights prayer.
For in the darkness late one night,
I saw him standing there.
His eyes were full of sadness ,
and I could feel his pain.
I know what comes with leaving,
but also whats to gain.
But sometimes Lord it's hard to see
the forest for the trees.
The gifts that you bestow to us in our
greatest times of need.
In the early morning hours,
he left again.. you see.
He didn't know the the prayer I'd said
and so he couldn't see.
He asked today for me to pray..
and so again, I'll simply say,
Open his eyes and heart oh Lord,
and send him here to stay......
