Such a time as this

Now is the time that I need my older brother
Now is the time I need to look into his crystal eyes and see Jesus
To know exactly what to do and what to say and how to say it

Being able to talk to the one person in the world that knows me the best
Being able to tell him the glorious things that have happened
And telling him the promises that have been revealed.

To be given the chance to cry in his arms
Laugh out loud in his car
And dance like fools in his room for Jesus again.

To see the "glow" that his face had for the Lord
To experience his smile that spoke volumes of Joy
To embrace the hug that felt like I was hugging Jesus

Right now is the time that I always thought I would have with John
Time to sit and tell him about my day, that day, one day
To hear him pray over me with such a peace
To hear him speak Words of Truth into my situation

But I know the Lord God has a perfect plan
I have heard that He has for me a Hope and a Future
That Jesus, who knows me, loves me, better than John ever could,
Is right here, right now, for such a time as this.

The Friend that is closer than a brother
Is the One who makes my heart sing a new song
The only One who could ever be my everything
My Saviour, My Jesus, the One who takes delight in me
Is here with me to comfort and lead me
Wrap me up in His loving arms and speak life into my soul once more

Jesus is here to look into my eyes
Laugh with me through the Joyous times
Dance with me in the moonlight
And be everything I need forever.


---Lord Jesus I adore Thee,
I will ever praise you
Be my Light in the Darkness
and the Center of my Life---
