Linda

Lord, You have made my heart to give,

To love the people that I see.

To be a voice of gentle hope,

And share the grace You gave to me.

I strive to be a helping hand,

To give to others from the start.

I pray the name of Linda means

A woman giving from the heart.

The road is long, the shadows deep,

But I will never be forsaken.

Through every tear I have to weep,

I know my faith will not be shaken.

Whenever sorrow takes its toll,

He is the anchor of my soul.

And as long as I have Jesus Christ,

I know that I can make it.

I walked a valley dark and cold,

When grief became a heavy cross.

My mother, father, sister, brother—

I wept beneath the aching loss.

I laid them in Your loving arms,

When all my earthly strength was dim.

But even in the midnight hour,

I placed my broken trust in Him.

The road is long, the shadows deep,

But I will never be forsaken.

Through every tear I have to weep,

I know my faith will not be shaken.

Whenever sorrow takes its toll,

He is the anchor of my soul.

And as long as I have Jesus Christ,

I know that I can make it.

Then out of darkness came a dawn,

A tender mercy from above.

God blessed my life with Layla's smile,

A living, breathing gift of love.

She brought the sunlight to my days,

And filled my grieving lips with praise.

The road is long, the shadows deep,

But I will never be forsaken.

Through every tear I have to weep,

I know my faith will not be shaken.

My giving heart has been made whole,

For He is the anchor of my soul.

And as long as I have Jesus Christ,

I know that I can make it.

Yes, as long as I have Jesus Christ,

I know that I can make it.
