Memorial Day 2002

As I look into your eyes now I remember
I remember when you were my little boy
I remember when you smiled on that Christmas morn
I remember when you went to school

     So many days and so many nights I prayed
     So many days and so many nights I stayed
     So many days and so many nights I waited
     Oh God, You know how I waited, I waited

As I look into your eyes now I remember
I remember when we got that awful phone call
I remember when you were in that coma
I remember when you were almost gone

     So many days and so many nights I prayed
     So many days and so many nights I stayed
     So many days and so many nights I waited
     Oh God, You know how I waited, I waited

As I look into your eyes now I remember
I remember when you woke up and looked around
I remember when you made that first sound
I remember when you began to get strong

     So many days and so many nights I prayed
     So many days and so many nights I stayed
     So many days and so many nights I waited
     Oh God, You know how I waited, I waited

As I look into your eyes now I remember
I remember when Jesus healed you today
I remember when you walked after we prayed
I remember when you came home to stay

     So many days and so many nights I prayed
     So many days and so many nights I stayed
     So many days and so many nights I waited
     Oh God, You know how I waited, I waited

Dear Lord, this Day will be a Memorial unto You
Thank You for waiting, for waiting and answering
                                           and seeing us through

"And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, 
What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, 
Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God."
