JUST BE THERE~
JUST BE THERE~
(written by Paula Bray)
(First Song on My PlayList)
Cradled in my arms I held you
And I loved you more with each day passing by
Through the sunshine and the rain
I can’t believe your grown and on your own
I don’t know what the future brings you
But I hope that you’ll keep Heaven as your goal
For we’ve taught you how to pray
We made sure you knew the way
So remember my request before you go
Just be there
When I finally make it home
And I stand before the throne
Just be there
When I look around to see
If you are standing next to me
Just be there.
It’s not an easy road you’re travelin’
But every place you go Jesus has been
But every place you go Jesus has been
And when you find you’ve made a turn
Forgetting what you’ve learned
You may have to start all over again
It’s not an easy load you’re bearin’
But the trials of your faith will make you strong
Facing dangers unaware
Facing dangers unaware
He won’t allow what you can’t bear
So my prayer is that your faith will bring you home
So my prayer is that your faith will bring you home
Just be there
When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home
And I stand before the throne
Just be there
Just be there
When I look around to see
If you are standing next to me
Just be there
Will you be standing next to me?
Just be there...
Will you be standing next to me?
Just be there...

Just Be There.
I'm counting on it.

Just beautiful Rebecca, Happy Birthday Brandon, how your sweet mama loves you. Such lovely pictures of both of you through his life. Rebecca you brought tears to my eyes. The first time I heard that song many years ago I wrote it down that I want that sang at by funeral. I know, how morbid but such a meaningful song. I hope someone remembers.
