Grandmas are just antique little girls

"Hold Us Up, Lord"

Lord, we know You're always busy,
For You've many things to do,
But when sorrow overcomes us,
Well, we need to talk to You.
For I've lost
someone precious,
And they're with You
there above,
And it's someone
that we needed,
And it's someone
that we love.

We are feeling lost and all alone,
And though we do believe,
We need You, Lord, to hold us up,
To help us while we grieve.
Please give us strength and courage, Lord,
To bear what we must bear,
And nudge us when our faith is weak
To remind us You are there.

Give us hope for our tomorrows,
Tell us life will still go on,
Show us, Lord, that all this darkness
Will be followed by the dawn.
You have led us through so many things,
You've pulled us through before,
Hold us up, Lord, till we're through this
And we are strong once more.
