Many tears cover my eyes, <br />For many burdens I bear. <br />But, there's a place where I will never cry, <br />Because I know you are there. <br />I'm wanting to fly away, <br />To a place where earth can't compare. <br />It's a new and better day, <br />Because I know you are there. <br />Jesus is who I want to see. <br />He's the one who always cares, <br />But even happier he must be! <br />Because I know you are there. <br />Yes this place is blue and torn, <br />Cruel and unfair. <br />But I will never mourn, <br />Because I know you are there. <br />I'll live there forever. <br />The crown I will wear. <br />But heaven's a whole lot better, <br />Because I know you are there.<br /><br />Whitney Albright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/because-i-know-you-re-there/
