DEAR GOD

A precious gift You gave me
Was taken away too fast
What have I done to deserve this?
Were the very words I asked

I wasn't done with him yet God
This all seems so mean and cruel
I'll never see my baby grow up
And never take him to school

There are so many emotions
Running through my head
There have been many days
That I wished it was me instead

I don't know how to go on
Each day is such a struggle
My body aches for my baby
To be in my arms to cuddle

My world stopped turning
The day that Brady died
Why God did you do this?
Why do you make me cry?

I'll be with him again one day
Is what they all keep saying
But how God do I keep living on
Without being able to watch him playing?

I know they say you have a plan
And when my time comes I'll know
But how God do I keep going on
When not having Brady hurts me so?

I prayed to You each night
To bless and protect my family
What have I done so wrong
That You just didn't hear me?

I ask you Lord to help me
Deal with what I've lost
Help me see you have a plan
No matter what the cost

I pray Lord you will walk with me
And you will hold Brady's little hand
Please Lord keep him by Your side
Until his mama's with him again
TELL ME HOW

How do I make it through this?
How do I understand this plan?
How do I stop this terrible hurting?
How do I get on my feet and stand?

I talk to God every chance I get
I pray for Him to show me the way
I ask many questions of Him
And I know I heard Him say

My child you must live your life
For Brady is with me now
In my Great Kingdom up above
If you listen I will tell you how

He cleared his throat and spoke to me
He said you must grieve no more
You must raise your other children
Brady is with me, just inside Heaven's door

No harm will come to him
This promise I make to you
And when your day comes
Brady will be there to help you through

Brady's time on earth was done
Then I think I heard Him sigh
I can not tell you the plan I have
I can not tell you why

You must be strong though this is hard
You must put your trust in me
You must hold your head up high
Knowing one day you will see

You have so much more in store
For your life on this earth
I will help you fight the devil
And fight the evil of his work

Come to me I heard him say
You are what I have made you
Come to me he said again
I'll help you make it through

Give your life to me he said
I am the way you need to turn
I will help you understand and
Show the lessons you must learn

I will show you that physical life
Is so not at all the end
I will show you the things you'll see
When the angels for you I'll send

Brady is here with me now
He will never again know pain
He will be here with me waiting
Until it's time to see his mama again
