About saying goodbye
Tears stream down my face today,
And I have no words I can say.
I wish I could say something nice,
To ease the pain and make it all right.
I wonder about what Jesus would do.
What words of encouragement would He give to you?
But I can’t say a word,
Even if I try.
All that comes out
Are the tears I cry.
My mind keeps going back to,
How lonely I’ll be without you.
We’ve been together for so long.
To be apart will feel so wrong.
And now, a smile I’m faking,
As my lonely heart is breaking.
Maybe we’ll meet again.
Maybe we’ll still be friends.
Maybe we’ll still be close, somehow.
Maybe we’ll still talk again, but for now—
Remember, money and things come and go,
But people and love last. So—
Hold your friends close to you.
Keep your memories of them, too.
And in the dark of night,
When nothing feels right,
Look to Jesus who holds your friends.
Pray for them again and again.
When you’re lonely and down,
Look to Jesus and lose the frown.
So, cry for me, hold me,
Love me, remember me.
I love you, I’ll pray for you,
I’ll miss you, I’d die for you.
