The empty place had been my home
The lost son had been my lord
The easy way had passed
The long road led me down
Needing love and a peaceful place
And remembering the Lord of my youth
My spirit prayed the answered prayer
And has been my companion since

Believing in the power of prayer
And heeding the words of the spirit
Faith, hope in things unknown, brought knowledge
And the spirit, truth
The thing that moves my life
Can be and is not a mystery
It was given and is now part of me
Praise be given to the Lord for its company

When the knock comes on the innermost door
Fear not the waiting
It is the missing part of you
Open and all things shall be told
When faith shall become truth
And new understanding belief, leading to faith
The endless circle of life
Waits the opening of a door

Where once was taking is now receiving
Where once was burden is now freedom
Where once was loss is now hope
Belief, Faith, then Truth will come
