Not Yet, My Child

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of prayer That a heart learns how to say When the world is locked behind a door And love must find its way Through windows, through the silence Through the long uncertain night Holding on to every flicker Of a distant, holy light [Chorus] Day by day, night after night Faith kept burning, love kept its light A miracle written against all odds Carried home on the mercy of God Day by day, night after night [Verse 2] Franko and I were waiting for you With every breath we'd send Whispered names across the distance Praying this was not the end And just when we thought you'd leave us Heaven leaned down close to say "Not yet, my child, not yet, my child" And You found another day [Chorus] Day by day, night after night Faith kept burning, love kept its light A miracle written against all odds Carried home on the mercy of God Day by day, night after night [Bridge] Ten long months of empty chairs Ten long months of climbing prayers Then the door, the steps, the sound of you Our Mount Everest, we made it through [Verse 3] Happy birthday, my dear Frank To the strength that brought you through To the bridge our love has built Every plank a dream come true Now we walk it hand in hand Every sunrise feels brand new Frank, the life we almost lost Is the gift I see in you [Chorus] Day by day, night after night Faith kept burning, love kept its light A miracle written against all odds Carried home on the mercy of God Day by day, night after night [Outro] Happy birthday, my Frank, my own Heaven brought our miracle home Day by day, night after night
