I Held You

Verse#1:
I held you……………….
On the day you were born the Angels openly cried
A darling of a child
I held you………………….
Sending me joy from on high with tears in my eyes
I held you…………………..

Verse#2:
I held you ………………….
We sang, danced and grew
We lived our life always new
I held you………………….
Our years passed and with joy
Who knew our time would be so few
I held you……………………

Verse#3:
Seasons stood still in time
I held you………………..
A day came and thunder clashed the sky where we stood
The heavens opened up and took you from my side
Deeply I cried for you
I held you………………….






Chorus:
I held you……………………….
My tears of bitter sweet sorrow fell to no avail
Celestial Gates prevailed
I held you ……………………….


Now I wait for Judgment Day,
just to hold you in my arms of brilliant array:
I held you……………………….
