Turn your haunting into healing, son.
Stop the guilt of living
beyond the years he was given.

You didn’t deserve the pain
but no one ever does,
just do the work and stop the rain.

You can’t change it,
You can’t rearrange it,
just do the work and
let it go.

He was so young and so were you—
No one can explain why,
But it wasn’t your fault you were
left to cry.

So much time has passed now,
He will forever be a part of you—
you are a living part of him.
your self-imposed life sentence
has been overturned—
let the grieving days go,
let the living days begin.

Turn your haunting into healing, son—it’s time to
let go.

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 (NIV)
