“Far From Home”
Lyrics by Jonathan Charny
(A father’s prayer for the child he never got to hold)
(Verse 1)
May Your peace be like a rainstorm,
And wash my sadness away.
My joy has been forgotten, Lord,
In this moment of pain.
The lights are getting dimmer, Lord,
In Your world of light,
The tears haven’t stopped flowing
Since I heard the news last night.
(Chorus)
So I ask you Lord to watch him until I’m by her side,
Would you whisper to him that Daddy won’t be long.
The hours may seem long for me before she’s in my arms,
But he’s with you oh Lord oh God, for I am the one that’s far away from home.
(Verse 2)
I never got to see their face,
Or hold their tiny hands,
But lord knows I still talk to them sometimes,
Though I don’t understand.
There’s an emptiness inside my chest
That only You can fill,
So keep them close within Your care,
And teach my heart to be still.
(Repeat Chorus)
So I ask you Lord to watch him until I’m by her side,
Would you whisper to him that Daddy won’t be long.
The hours may seem long for me before she’s in my arms,
But he’s with you oh Lord oh God, for I am the one that’s far away from home.
(Bridge)
Someday beyond the sorrow,
When my journey’s finally done,
I’ll know the children I’ve prayed about—
My daughters or my sons
And You’ll place them in my arms again,
Where tears can never come,
And I’ll thank You, Lord, for holding them
Till You brought me safely home.
(Final Chorus)
So I ask you Lord to watch him until I’m by her side,
Would you whisper to him that Daddy won’t be long.
The hours may seem long for me before she’s in my arms,
But he’s with you oh Lord oh God, for I am the one far away from home.
(Outro – softly)
May Your peace be like a rainstorm…
And wash my sadness away
