Barely hanging on. Fighting back that tear,
There's just some news you don't want to hear.
My heart is breaking; I call to you,
I love you so much. I wish you knew.
The cancer is tearing our lives apart,
Don't we all deserve a fresh start?
What has she done to make You mad?
That's all I want, is that so bad?
So much emotion buried deep inside,
All I want is to run and hide.
But to run and hide would be so wrong,
Because for my family I must stay strong.
Now here I sit needing a friend,
To glue the pieces of my heart together again.
Doesn't anyone see the pain in my eyes?
Hear the tears in my voice? Listen to my cry?
Help her Lord, take away the pain,
Set her free, break away from the chain.
We need You now more than ever before,
Pull us together to help fight this war.
Stretch out Your comforting, loving hand
To help us know this is all part of Your GRAND plan.
Lynn Ali
