For Katie

You're so far away
The pain is so near
The tears in her eyes
Reveal all her fears

Bring her in close
In Your arms everlasting
The hope in her eyes
Shows it's not passing

You make it alive
This soul shadow-covered
The love in her eyes
Reflects that discovered

Awaken her spirit
To Your will so sincere
The joy in her eyes
Lets her know You are near.
