Lord, please help me through this day,

It seems so cold, dark and gray.

I need direction… I need your hand

To help my child, to understand.

"Where is Daddy?” she said to me,

I had to explain, he's there with Thee.

God called him home; He needed him there,

But daddy hears you, through your prayer.

Her little fingers, grasping me so tight,

Feeling afraid and feeling fright.

Please give to me, the words to say,

To my little child, on this sad day.

"How far is Heaven?" she said to me

"I need to sit on Daddy's knee."

"Do you think we could go tonight?

So he could hold us both real tight?"

Between the tears, I tried to explain,

That heaven is now, daddy's domain.

God took your daddy's pain away

That's why he's not here, with us today.

Don't think that daddy, doesn't care,

It's just that God, needs him up there.

He's now an angel, from up above,

Watching over us, with all his love.

But it’s all right, for us to cry,

Because we had, to say goodbye,

But we'll see daddy, again someday,

It's just that now he's gone away.
