A Godly Heart
by Kathleen Higham

He had such a Godly heart
There was nothing he wouldn't do
His joy now absolutely endless
An he desires the same for you.

Pain can claim you every day
Sometimes your heart can't bear
No peace can reach this brokenness
Your mind screams, how unfair.

He had such a Godly heart
His life was all about giving
Now his reward from the Savior
The gift for the life he was living.

We can never comprehend
When sorrow releases a sigh
Then agonized we punish ourselves
Till we cannot even cry, but

He had such a Godly heart
I know someday you will see
A shattered heart will surrender
And God's love will set you free.

The moment you are waiting for
Carries you through another day
A memory of a lovely boy
And a smile will come your way.

He had such a Godly heart
Only time will bring relief
A guilt may come to smother, but
The Lord will burden your grief.

Your cross will surely be lifted
Remembering the son you bore
Oh, he had such a Godly heart
He prays you mourn no more.
