THIS MOMENT IN TIME

Oh God of love, of power and might, do You have my boy tonight?
Is he safe within Your arms, safe, my God, from all that harms,
Safe from all that gave him pain, safe as long as God shall reign?
Does he lean upon Your breast, leaning on You, Lord, for rest,
Glad to be relieved at last with all the cares of earth now past?

Oh God of love, of power and might, how I miss my boy tonight!
Born, oh God, with such travail, and on my body labors still,
As did I on that day of birth when he was born to us on earth.
My body is in labor still and with my son I always will
For now that he is gone with You, that's all that's left for me to do.

Oh God of love, of power and might, my heart aches so sad tonight.
I wrap me in my arms and sing, I wrap me in my arms and mourn,
I wrap me in my arms and wait, I wrap me in my sorry state,
There is no way that I could be all that my boy needed me
Though that was not my earthly job it does not stifle out my sob.

Oh God of love, of power and might, have mercy on this mom tonight.
Show me, Lord, how to abide and let me lean upon Your side,
Hold me till my sobbing's through then show me what I am to do.
I am so lost without my boy, my heart so vacant now of joy.
My thoughts are out in endless space searching, searching for his face.

Oh God of love, of power and might, forgive me as I cry tonight.
Forgive me for my waning will, for I know God reigneth still
And that Heaven takes delight in being with my son tonight.
Hold him tight and give him love without condition from above
For Lord, he never knew his worth while he was struggling here on earth.

Oh God of love, of power and might, there's not much more that I can write
For tears have filled my eyes again, my throat constricts in realms of pain,
My pounding heart is in my ears. I must endure such vacant years
Of emptiness and pain before I can see my son again but
Through the Cross You promised me that we would live again in Thee.
