And guide the way
Help me see
And teach me how to pray
Dry the tears on my face
Bring me to that far off land
My home and my dreaming place
Let me count every star
Let me chase the sun and the sky
Let me find out who they are
And just let me see why
Teach me why the rain falls
Teach me why the raven calls
Teach me why the wind blows
And teach me why the flower grows
Show me where life never dies
And show me where no one ever cries
Just take me by the hand
Dry the tears on my face
Bring me to that far off land
My home and dreaming place
Let me count every star
Let me chase the sun and sky
Let me find out who they really are
And just let me see why
Please just show me life that never dies
And show me a place where no one ever cries

Teach me Why

Topic: selfstruggles

Look at me
And guide the way
Help me see
And teach me how to pray
Dry the tears on my face
Bring me to that far off land
My home and my dreaming place
Let me count every star
Let me chase the sun and the sky
Let me find out who they are
And just let me see why
Teach me why the rain falls
Teach me why the raven calls
Teach me why the wind blows
And teach me why the flower grows
Show me where life never dies
And show me where no one ever cries
Just take me by the hand
Dry the tears on my face
Bring me to that far off land
My home and dreaming place
Let me count every star
Let me chase the sun and sky
Let me find out who they really are
And just let me see why
Please just show me life that never dies
And show me a place where no one ever cries

I know how this feels, am feeling that way myself at present.Suexx

And for me:

A place of comfort
A place of peace
A time to live
No more grief

A shining place to brighten me up
Where I can drink from an ever flowing cup
A place of beauty, where dread has no place
Where all I see is smiles on a face

A fantasy land , a land of hope
A magical trip to help me cope
No bottomless pit, but a lifeline you see
A glorious haven where I want to be

The Bible promises of such a place ...all you have to do is beleive .... Jesus came to set us free... Great poem
