This is when the grief comes

Where the shadows fall and the tears run dry

When there are no words to still my beating heart

Sleep won't come despite closed eyes

Tears won't fall despite the emptiness

My only prayer is that maybe she knew You

My only prayer is that maybe now she is asleep 

Safe in Your arms

For You are a hope stronger than the grave

You are what I'll hold on to

All I can do now is kneel and pray

And as I do

My tears fall
