I CAN POINT BEYOND THE VEIL

There’s something really beautiful

In the young ones that I see

And as they start to walk for Christ

I feel love well up in me

How I want to draw them in

And put them in my heart

They’d be immersed in love

And from Christ they’d not depart

I’d carry all their burdens

So they’d not feel any pain

And protect them from all evil

But in this there’d be no gain

They have to win their wars

And be victors in the fight

To appreciate the day time

 They must labour through the night

If I carried all their burdens

I’d die with such a load

But it’s just the love that’s in my heart

To want to help them on life’s road

As a friend I want to share

My life and know theirs too

And encourage, pray and urge them on

In the hard times they go through

But I find that I can’t do it

But I can point beyond the veil

To a place that they can rest

With no trouble or travail
