THE LIFE, THE TRUTH, THE WAY:

Verse 1:
I loved her like a sister, but I missed her!
What could I have done? Didn’t she know where to run?
Is that what it takes sometimes?
Can it be so bad? Can a person really feel so sad?
Chorus:
What can I do? What did she go through? And Lord, did she know you?
I love her still, and ‘though she’s gone, her memory lives
on:
But bittersweet, because her life was too short for defeat!
And I wish I knew what she was feeling! Why she could not last another
day.
Long enough to find that her healing was in you, the Life, the Truth,
the Way.
Verse 2:
He was like a brother I’d discovered,
What could I have said? Was he just out of his head?
Must it come to this so often?
Such a lack of hope, and an inability to cope!
Chorus 2:
What can I do? What did he go through? And Lord, did he know you?
I love him still, and ‘though he’s gone, his memory lives
on:
But bittersweet, because his life was too short for defeat!
And I wish I knew what he was feeling! Why he could not last another
day. Long enough to find that his healing was in you, the Life, the
Truth, the Way Verse 3:
They were there for me when times were hard,
But had they known they were not alone?
Where was all their wisdom then? Were they too broken to seek out a
friend?
Chorus3:
What can I do? What did they go through? And Lord, did they know you?
I love them still, and ‘though they’re gone, their memory
lives on:
But bittersweet, because their lives were too short for defeat!
And I wish I knew what they were feeling! Why they could not last another
day.
Long enough to find that their healing was in you, the Life, the Truth,
the Way
