I SAW HIM BESIDE ME
By Myrtle Poor (c)
Loneliness drives me to this point
Of wishing I were dead
Thoughts are going round and round
Playing leap frog in my head.
The Lord hears and answers prayer
For I have sent him one or two.
A little voice within my head,
"Says child I'm here for you."
"Don't let yourself worry none
For I am here to stay.
I know exactly how you feel
For I was in your shoes one day.
It was such a lonely road that day
As I climbed Golgotha hill,
The blood streamed down my face and side
As I strived, to do my Father's will.
He stood beside me there that day
As for you I gave up my life,
And I will always stay beside you child
Through all troubles, pain and strife."
