It Takes Time

The house is quiet, they’re not here,
I see their things and shed a tear,
I ask the sky, “Why did they leave?”
The only sound — the wind, I grieve.

I miss their laugh, their gentle way,
It hurts they’re gone, I wish they’d stay,
Their voice still echoes when skies gray,
I miss them more with each new day.

It takes some time to find what’s real,
It’s what we do that helps us heal,
The hurt runs deep, but love will stay,
And guide us through from day to day.

Some question God, “Is this Your plan?”
It’s hard to trust, we’re only man,
We cry at night, can’t find the end,
We break, then start to bend again.

The guilt can weigh a heavy heart,
It pulls our thoughts and tears apart,
We see their face in every place,
And long to feel their warm embrace.

It takes some time to find what’s real,
It’s what we do that helps us heal,
The hurt runs deep, but love will stay,
And guide us through from day to day.

But time alone won’t heal inside,
It’s what we do that turns the tide,
We learn to share, we learn to give,
That’s how we find the will to live.

We keep them close in what we do,
Their love still shines in me and you,
We carry them through work and song,
Their memory helps us stay strong.

It takes some time to find what’s real,
It’s what we do that helps us heal,
The hurt runs deep, but love will stay,
And guide us through from day to day.

Each day we rise, we take it slow,
We learn some things we didn’t know,
That loss brings pain, but also grace,
And time helps love find its own place.

So when the tears still find a way,
Remember hope will have its day,
For life will come again, it’s true —
John 5:28 and 29 for you.
It takes some time to find what’s real,
It’s what we do that helps us heal,
The hurt runs deep, but love will stay,
And guide us through from day to day.

I miss their voice, it breaks my heart,
The hardest thing’s to be apart,
But love still grows where sorrow stays,
And light will guide the darkest days.

It takes some time to find what’s real,
It’s what we do that helps us heal,
The hurt runs deep, but love will stay,
And guide us through from day to day.
It takes some time to find what’s real,
It’s what we do that helps us heal,
The hurt runs deep, but love will stay,
And guide us through from day to day.
The hurt runs deep, but love will stay,
And guide us through from day to day.
