Anything for our children
That’s what we would do
To keep from harm
To cuddle them
I’d give my life for you
Boy on life support machine
Time to close it down
Parents fight for precious time
Precious for their own
Woman comes to Jesus
Desperate for her child
Will not leave till satisfied
Pleads and cries so wild
Mary stands at Calvary
Stands beside her son
Suffers in his dying
Now the setting sun
The sun that sets will rise again
And sorrow be no more
Welcome the evening when it comes
Tomorrow – another shore
