You Are There

When I'm in the midst of anguish,

You are there.

When my tears flow like a river,

You are there.

When regrets and heartache fill my thoughts,

You are there.

When my world feels like it's falling apart,

You are there.

You are not leaving me to dwell in my undoings; instead,

You are there.

When healing is painful, you are not satisfied in my consequences or uncaring during the projected circumstances;

You are there.

When you love me too much to give me what I beg for, because you can see the bigger picture;

You are there.

When the light shines bright and I understand why, and the pain leads me to greater healing and purpose,

You are there.

When others see You in my hope and peace,

You are there.

When life sends me strangers and new friends to encourage,

You are there.

When my past pain is now a tool for others in their pain,

You are there.

When I walk in the joy of new beginnings and second chances,

You are there.

When my life is a circulating door of downs and ups,

You are there.

When I take my final breath and my family mourns,

You are there.
