Believe!

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.
