Melissa

I tell myself, "Melissa, keep your gentle heart,

Keep pouring out love like you did from the start."

But this world can shatter a caring soul

When the deepest loss takes a heavy toll

I had to say goodbye to my precious son

And I thought my days in the light were done

I didn't know how I could just breathe in

Knowing I couldn't hold my boy again

But the hope of heaven pulled me through

The promise that I'll be back with you

I needed a Savior to show me the way

To carry my spirit through the gray

Now over the sorrow, over the ache

Over the pieces of a heart that breaks

When the waters rise and I need release

I speak Jesus, and I find my peace

Knowing I'd see him on the other side

Became my anchor, became my guide

That beautiful truth led me right to grace

To the only One who could hold my space

Now I walk this path with a quiet strength

Trusting the Lord down the journey's length

I still have a mother's love to give

And a holy purpose while I live

'Cause the hope of heaven pulled me through

The promise that I'll be back with you

I needed a Savior to show me the way

To carry my spirit through the gray

Now over the sorrow, over the ache

Over the pieces of a heart that breaks

When the waters rise and I need release

I speak Jesus, and I find my peace

Every tear I cried watered the seed

Of the beautiful faith that I deeply need

I look at the sky and I whisper a prayer

Knowing my boy is waiting up there

The pain of the ending was only the start

Of the Savior healing my broken heart

And the hope of heaven pulls me through

The promise that I'll be back with you

I have a Savior who shows me the way

Who carries my spirit every day

So over the sorrow, over the ache

Over the pieces of a heart that breaks

For the rest of my life, until we meet

I speak Jesus, I speak Jesus
