She's with me
I proudly tell the Mater Dei as we arrive
He seems surprised
In a clumsy moment as he looks for room
For her blessed chair
A table stares
And their eyes show only pity As they try to sympathize
Oh how difficult that must be Look away
Day after day
They'll never see
The joy in me
I'm only happy at the times I know that she's with me
I wear it like a badge of honor at the mall
I hear her call
The only way that she is able with a cry Time to go bye bye
But she can't say why
Maybe tired, maybe hurting
God I wish that I could tell Do I ever make her happy for a while
To see her smile
It makes my week
Though she can't speak
She lets me know she feels my love
When she's with me
I know just what heaven looks like When I see that perfect face
For no other mortal heart could be so fair
I myself so weak and weary
So imperfect as a man How could I be the one you chose to care
For our girl
I've never done a single deed to earn the
right
To share her light
Though it's such a painful road we walk each day
Lord you have your ways
For this I pray
On the day I stand before you She'll stand right by my side
And when you look upon me Head hung down in shame
I'll feel the blame
She'll look at me
And then she'll speak
In that precious voice
Don't worry about him my lord Cause you see
He's with me
