| I thought I had lost you, I thought you had gone, Laying so quiet, so deathly still. I lay down beside you, I thought I'd die too, My heart was breaking, I couldn't bear to lose you. I looked in your eyes so liquid and brown, And stroked your face and your soft tawny down, I prayed aloud that you would live For that I bargained, my soul I would give. Then I realised how selfish I was, When someone greater wanted you above. So I whispered your name and said it's Ok, If it's your time, He could take you today. How could I think that just love would win When a power much stronger wanted you with Him. Then you turned your head and breathed soft in my face, And I knew you'd come back with His blessing and Grace I was still on my knees appropriately, Thank you my Lord for giving her back to me. |
