Reviving Righteousness
My tree is full of fruit,
people pick to eat.
The fruit I bare,
so they say,
is heart warming and sweet.
Gentleness and kindness,
joyfulness and love,
patience and understanding,
people never get enough.
My fruit is disappearing,
no one seems to care,
they’ll no longer have the fruit,
from the tree they love to share.
I’ve been blown in the breeze,
I’ve been left out in the cold,
I’ve been trampled in the dirt,
now my fruit begins to mold.
Meet me at the gate
How far is it to heaven, from my driveway
If I left right now, would I get there today
I know that I can’t come in, and I can’t stay
But is there any way
Daddy could just Meet me at the gate?
Living here without him, Gets harder everyday
Life goes on so busily, Not letting death get in its way
It’s sad to see, that the world Didn’t even pause, to say goodbye
They never noticed my heart Shattered on the floor
Or the tears that Filled my eyes
As the world’s still A buzz around me
There remains in me, An empty space
The hero that Once filled the void, Could never be replaced
How far is it to heaven, from my driveway
If I left right now, would I get there today
I know that I can’t come in, and I can’t stay
But is there any way
Daddy could just Meet me at the gate?
I want to tell him That I’m sorry
I didn’t treat every day, Like it were the last
All he gave me, I took for granted
So much I’d change, If I could go back
I can’t remember If I told him
How much he truly Meant to me
So you see, I need To get to heaven
With much haste And urgency
How far is it to heaven, from my driveway
If I left right now, would I get there today
I know that I can’t come in, and I can’t stay
But is there any way
Daddy could just Meet me at the gate?
It’s so hard to see my mama, go on without him
She’s the strongest woman I think I’ve ever known
She misses him so much
And still, she’s here for the rest of us
So like the wife of noble character
In proverb 31
As for me, for the first time, I comfort no one
I hideaway, to try and grieve by myself, alone
Without courage, I feel like the cowardly Lion
Searching for a way to be brave and show strength
Just like my mom
So please tell me,
How far is it to heaven, from my driveway
If I left right now, would I get there today
I know I can’t come in, and I can’t stay
But please let there be a way
Daddy, could just meet me at the gate.
