David’s Song

Young David lay in a hospital bed - the disease had taken control
Could not speak just read his lips - the procedures had taken a toll

His mother there by his side - when I went to see David and say hello
To this day, I still can see his beautiful face, filled with a heavenly glow

With a gesture he called me near - his quiet lips said what he had to say
Mom and I witnessed this young man - with words that blew us both away

He said, "Jesus is here by my side," and my heart nearly fell to the floor
A glowing face, big brown sparkling white eyes, he said, "there is more"

"Jesus is here, and he is holding me near, and he loves me very, very, much!"
His mom looked on with tears in her eyes, held on with her motherly touch

I said, "I know he is here and he loves you dear," Seeing David filled with grace
Words could not explain what was taking place, it was written upon David's face

He said, "Jesus is here by my side," holding my hand with a gentle clutch
"Jesus is here, and he is holding me near, and he loves me very, very, much!"

"Jesus is here by my side," repeating those beautiful words again and again
"Jesus is here, and he is holding me near, and he loves me very, very, much!"
"Jesus is here, and he is holding me near, and he loves me very, very, much!"
