I'll remember you

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son..."

to keep me from becoming the forgotten one



Do you remember me, Lord, on the day I was born

Was I wearing half a halo and a maniacal horn

I know I was pure when I came out of the womb

but it seems like death embraced me as I entered this tomb

This tomb that is the world, this tomb that we call Earth

Was I only born to die since the moment of my birth



Do you remember me, Lord, every day that I live

Is there anything I've done that you wouldn't forgive

I thought that I strayed off the path that you paved

but I now realize that was my road to be saved

I didn't go the wrong way, I just went the long way

and every dark step brought me to a brighter day



Will you remember me, Lord, on the day I pass on

Will it be dark as night, or an eternal dawn

Will my own memories forever make me cry

or will I remember tomorrow before it even passes by

Eternal dreaming, eternal screaming, my hope and faith is true

and the one thing I'll remember, Lord...I'll remember you

Love the dialog with the Lord and all the questioning and yearning. It makes this a powerful piece.

You've got my attention.
"and the one thing I'll remember, Lord...I'll remember you"
remembering a bit more myself.
