I Held Your Hand
Yesterday I held your hand, sadly now I find you gone,
across the sky to distant land, I must try not to sorrow long.
Your face iIremember in my heart, all that within you that was good, I ponder...
Although we had to say good-bye, in my heart I know God had a plan.
I can't understand why, for He is God, I'm just a man.
You've gone the way I too must go, a time appointed for all to keep.
Great treasures I know I'll find, for this eternity I do seek.
Yesterday I held your hand, now here I am the lonely one.
I'll give it to God, He understands, once upon a time He lost a Son.
