This Is Your Race

I cry for you now, but it won't last very long
No time for that - we are way too strong

There is nothing that you can't overcome
Every fight isn't to be won, but the battle has just begun

So you dig in at the start of this race
There is no other you, you can't be replaced

God has given us the sign it will all be OK
Let us open our hearts for He knows the way

Life is so short, we're only here for awhile
So you have to decide "where's my place, what's my style"

But I think you're here to sparkle and glow
I think you're here so others will know

They will see your light, so don't let it dim
They will feel your strength and know it's from Him

So eyes turned to Heaven and heart filled with Grace
We are all here behind you, but this is Your Race.

I Wasn't Sure

I wasn't sure I could watch you go
Would there be pain, would it be slow

The pain I felt can't be put into words
I gave you life, now He was taking yours

I understand now why it had to be
The sacrifice of you was to make a stronger me

I wasn't sure if my heart still worked
I wasn't sure if I liked this Earth

I was afraid that you wouldn't know
You wouldn't feel my love before you had to go

But you knew and finally made me stay
You wanted my arms around you when you passed away

Thank you for the strength and show of bravery
I won't ever give up again because you didn't give up on me.
