The grief was so unbearable

As if I couldnt stand

My knees gave way in agony

You caught me by the hand

But I let go in fear

I denied that you were there

I'm so sorry Lord forgive me

It was to much for me to bare

he left me with no warning

So I got angry with the one

that I should love forever

Open your eyes-here comes the sun

Theres still so many scars

That may never heal

But at least I have You

The only thing that's real

And as I lay in bed

And tears streamed down my face

You were there wiping them away

You stayed with me-a holy grace

Your presence is so reliable

never changing-always there

I rejoice and cry out your name

To the world I want to share

What you have given me

You've given me this life

that has brought me so much joy

Even though Its cut me like a knife

alex is in heaven

and he no longer feels the pain

that drowned him on the inside

and left an eternal stain

on all the people's hearts

that he loved so much

He cared so much about us

and had a special, gentle touch

That you will never forget.

And though we grieve forever

for the one we miss so much

This is our final endeavor

To love and to be loved in return

is all we really want

And thats the way you love me

This pain no longer haunts

Me in my dreams

I finally feel half-full once more

And I just no that someday

Our ocean will meet its shore
