A song for my two girls

When I close my eyes I can see your face
See your soft lips and smell your hair
And I drink it in to fill the place
That your leaving has left open and bare

But in my tears and in my sorrow
I know this is true
Jesus holds you up in heaven
Waiting for me to come too

So, I'll wait; yes I'll wait
Though waiting is so long and so very hard to do
Yes, I'll wait; oh I'll wait
With my heart held open wide, knowing the emptiness inside
Is going to be healed soon
After all this waiting for you

Often in the moments when my grief calls me to cave
Despair leads me to think that all is lost
Giving in to thoughts of self pity, anger, even rage
My heart is weak and beckoned to forget the power in the cross

But in my tears and in my sorrow
I know this is true
When Jesus died He made a way
for me to come see you

So, I'll wait, yes I'll wait
Though the waiting is so long and so very hard to do
Yes, I'll wait, Oh I'll wait
With my heart held open wide, knowing the emptiness inside
Is going to be healed soon
After all this waiting for you
