In a little while you will see me, then you will see me no more
Then it leaves me with the question why Lord will this be so
I just want to see you, for who you are and want to experience you in your glory
I don’t know how to comprehend the words you speak to me,
and I am asking you to open my eyes and help me see
don’t know the reason, behinds your thoughts about me and creation
Help me to see the world as needy and in constant need of redemption
I don’t know why you think about me the entire time
But all I know is you do, and that gives me assurance
Haven’t really thought about the way you made the stars
While providing me with glimpses of the One who cares
Have tried so hard to see you, while forgetting your words to me
living a life of sin, and falling down again.
I look forward to the day, where I will see you again
Nothing between us, but you and me alone

16 “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”
John 16:16 (NIV)
Based on a conversation between Karen and I

I wanted someone to hold me while I was crying
A voice to whisper I love you child
I wanted to hold the hand of a father
My little hands tried to grab your finger
Laying on your lap, looking into your eyes
Trying to fall asleep, but my mind wouldn’t let me
I was tired but I knew your peace would calm me
Daddy, its been so long since I let you hold me
my broken heart pieced back together with in your love
For a long time, stumbling through the darkness
not knowing where I was going, but I wanted to look into your eyes
I couldn’t see the hand that held me, or the voice that was telling me
you’re my child, I love you
I didn’t want to let you know I was crying
I wanted to hide from you the reason that I was hurting
As I looked into your eyes I realized you knew the answers
I saw an understanding that spoke to my heart
A tear that told me you knew why I was hurting
A simple drop of water, falling to the ground
you held me when no one was around
Tears of compassion you soaked me with your grace
It is then I realized what it meant to be loved and long for your embrace
I looked up and I saw is your face filled with mercy.
