Love From Far Beyond The Realm Of All Things 

If I had only known the last time would be the last time

I would’ve put off all the things I had to do

I would’ve stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter

Now what I’d give for one more day with you

Because there’s a wound here in my heart where something’s missing

And they tell me that it’s gonna heal with time

But I know you’re in a place where all your wounds have been erased

And knowing yours are healed is healing mine

I know the road you walked was anything but easy

You picked up your share of scars along the way

but now you’re standing in the sun, you’ve fought your fight and your race is run

The pain is all a million miles away

The only scars in heaven, won’t belong to me, and you

There’ll be no such thing as broken and all the old will be made new

And the thought makes me smile now even as the tears fall down

Is that the only scars in heaven are on the hands that hold you now

There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t see you

You live on in all the better parts of me

Until I’m standing with you in the sun, I’ll fight this fight and this race I’ll run

Until I finally see what you can see.

The sting of his death is still very real, while at times the pain is so unbearable it brings me to my knees, and I begin to pray.

I pray to our God to give me the strength to make it through somehow, but I’ve never been more homesick without you than now.

Happy Birthday Dave
