The Goodbye World
I hurt too much, I no longer want to fight!
Just to close my eye’s, and slip into the night.
I’ve seen only a glimpse of glory,
but a panoramic view of pain,
I wish this was the dream, and the glory would never wane.
Oh how I long for Heaven, as I sojourn in this land,
this awful place of Goodbyes so much more than I can stand!
Oh to believe there’s a place where you never say Goodbye!
Where you never taste betrayal, and your Loved ones never Die!
How many goodbyes have you said? How many times have you felt
the pain! The dreadful wrenching heartache, them to never hold again!
To watch your Mommy slowly dying or to see your injured Babies
puzzled eyes, to know your spouse is laughing in the night,
with another at their side.
This endless fall of goodbyes, this raging storm of pain,
this never ending nightmare, this relentless pouring rain!
The hill without a downside, the betrayal of a friend,
The long awaited victory that comes crashing to an end!
Oh this world of goodbyes, this can not be my home?
This can’t be all there is for me to ever walk alone!
I have this hope inside me, this knowledge of beyond,
This image of a country, where my heart will never long.
There must be a God of goodness, of goodness, hope and light,
For we’ve seen the roaring devil, and felt his terror in the night!
There must be a God of goodness…
There must be a God of goodness…
Though I’d be ashamed to stand before Him,
as for goodness I have none,
My only hope is God's mercy,
and the Blood of His precious only Son!
Gregory James LaRev
And then He put a new song in my mouth!
this is where i have been living. this is pretty much all i know. except the glimpses of Christ and the knowledge of his love and faithfulness to me. He keeps his promises and will never betray me. thank you for putting words to the song i hear daily. waiting for my newsong, hear it faintly growing stronger
