If Only..

If only this was my eternity.

I could stay in your arms forever.

Keep me safe throughout the storm.

Lord, Please keep them safe.

Lord, Please show us Your love.

God, if I have ever needed you..

It's right here and right now.

If only I could escape this place.

To run away from this fiery pit.

Keep my friends safe.

Pray and hold them.

Tell them, I will never love another.

They will never leave me.

God if I have ever needed you..

It's right here and right now.

This place is all too real.

Please, God, free me from this reality.

The news won't stop replaying.

The camera flash is all too bright.

Heartless words and loveless actions.

Fly from the mouths of my enemies.

This can't be.

God if I have ever needed you..

It's right here and right now.

The ground has consumed you.

A life, gone too soon.

A smiling face, to never be seen again.

With these flowers, I say love and peace.

You will never be forgotten.

Forever and always, brothers.

For we will meet again.

Where the streets are gold,

And all are singing praises.

God if I have ever needed you..

It's right here and right now.
