Through the Tears Together

The road is long, and the night is cold,

With a heavy heart, I carry the load.

We’re driving back to where our roots begin,

A house filled with laughter, now echoes of pain.

My eyes on the rearview, memories collide,

In the silence, I hear all the words untried.

You’re trembling, love, I see it in your gaze,

Your father’s gone to be with Jesus, and it’s hard to find the words and ways, to comfort you in this tragic devastating time, as you try,

To keep standing strong when the world feels torn,

But I'm here beside you im not goinganywhere, together we’ll mourn. We get home and I hold you in our bed, loving you and comforting you, so you can get some sleep, then that afternoon you woke up, telling me you want, to take a shower, from you being in shock, and devastated, you didn't have the strength to stand, so I got in the shower with you,

Holding you tight in the shower, water flows,

Washing away all the hurt, letting it go.

Your heart is aching, and I can feel your fears,

I’ll be your shelter, love, through all of the tears.

Jesus, my savior, please help me, in this tragic time, I don't know what to do, to comfort my wife, I'm so lost, hurt, and devastated, Jesus please give me your strength

The kids are quiet, trying to grasp the news,

Our son looks lost in the shadows of blues. I walked to him, asked son what are you thinking, he says dad, I don't understand, why didn't I wake up, grandpa always slept, in my bedroom those first couple weeks, he lived with us, and I always woke up, why didn't I wake up, I could have kept him from falling down the stairs, I said son, there was a reason, why I was the only one, who couldn't sleep last night, and I said it was God's grace and mercy, he put on you and your sister, and mom, so you guys didn't have to see this happening,

Angel bear You’re trembling, love, like the world’s lost its sense,

But your family’s here, we’ll help you rebuild the fence,

In the warmth of our love, we’ll kindle the light,

Together we’ll stand, through the long, dark nights.

Jesus, help my son, not blame himself, from this tragic accident, lord my wife and kids are hurting please let them feel your presence

Holding you tight in the shower, water flows,

Washing away all the hurt, letting it go.

Your heart is aching, and I can feel your fears,

I’ll be your shelter, love, through all of the tears.

Phone calls to your aunt Tracy and aunt Emma, while you were sleeping, fighting voices in my head, why couldn't I have been able to save him, crying out to God, Jesus my lord and savior, please help me,Each whisper a memory, holding on tight.,Together we’ll close this chapter, hand in hand,with love in our hearts, we will finally stand.

So take your time in this journey of grief,

I’m right here beside you, offering relief.

We’ll build up our family, with jesus love as our guide,

In the house that we cherish, with your dad's memories in our hearts
