When I Awake

I awaken each morning to a brand new day
Wishing the heartache and pain would go away
As you try to remember the days you were glad
The grief and the pain just make you so sad
The good time forgotten we dwell on the past
Of the painful memories that always seem to last
Was it a phone call or maybe you were there
When your world turned into total despair
A tragic experience we never seemed to see
Only the heartbreak and what it appears to be
We are lost in our love and grief so deep
Many days and many nights we still weep
It may be months, even longer the years
Nothing can stop the outburst of tears
Yet each new day we awaken again
Only for the heartbreak to begin
We have lost our loved one I know this is true
The one thing we can never lose is our love for you
Remember me each day as you lay Awake
For now I am free for heaven's sake
No pain or agony do I have any more
For GOD has cleansed me and evened the score
Now you must try to learn this to
For God gave his son for me and you
For when our days finally come to an end
Is the day our love will be together again
Then you will find the peace that you seek
For God has given his love to keep
