"time to go"

"when i was young You waited patiently for me to grow;

Your smiling down, Your hand in mind, but i didn't know.

a voice i'd heard all my life locked away in my insides;

now whispering, "it's time to go",

so i told all i know goodbye.

You told me that You don't change when everything around me did,

and when i ran away You said there's no trespass You won't forgive.

sometimes it feels like when i was small; the way you still smile at me.

and after all these years You're still the One that i thought You would be.

the world says that You are someone You are not.

to know You better i've had to forget [some of the things] i've been taught.

and if the whole world decides to turn its back on you,

i'll be right here because they don't know You the way that i do.

i once had lots of family who all have gone away;

the storm came down and shook our house- they decided not to stay.

they feared the wind and rain and fled for their lives, but i didn't care.

i stayed and waited for the storm to pass; i knew you were there. "

tell all that you know goodbye. it is time to go and live for Him. that is all i can say.
