Take Me Away

I want to find a road that takes me far away

away from tomorrow's worries, and yesterday's mistakes.

A road that will lead me to where the memories just fade

where time no longer matters and the tears just go away.

But no earthly road will I find that will take me to such a place

for what I seek is nothing more then His eternal face.

Nothing that I have, or could ever hope to find

will ever compare to His love, or when He tells me " You're mine".



I can only pray that while I'm here I'll one day know His plan

that He'll hold my hurting heart in His, and take me by the hand

and lead me down this earthly road until I reach the end

where everyone I've ever lost is just around the bend.

But God..

I beg you now to turn my mourning into dancing

my weeping into praise!

Remember the desires of my heart Lord, for all my earthly days.

For this road you have me on is long, but I'm trying to do my best

give me the strength to carry on, until I find your rest.

But most of all I ask, that you heal this heart that ails

that you remind us that your love hopes, believes, endures all things

And that your love never fails.
