He Only Took My Hand

Last night while I was trying to sleep, my son's voice I did hear,
I opened my eyes and looked around, but he did not appear.
He said, "Mama, you've got to listen, you've got to understand,
God didn't take me from you Mama,
He only took my hand!

When I called out in pain that night, the instant that he died,
He reached down and took my hand, and pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me, from the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside, I could never be the same.

My search is really over now, I've found happiness within,
all the answers to my empty dreams, and all that might have been.
I love you so and miss you so, and I'll always be nearby,
My body's gone forever, but my spirit will never die!

And so you must go on now, and try to understand,
God did not take me from you Mama, He only took my hand!
