He Only Took My Hand
Last Night I was trying to sleep, Martinez's voice I did hear. I opened my eyes and looked around, but he did not appear...
He said: You've got to listen...you've got to understand. God didn't take me from you He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that day the instant that I died He reached down and took my hand and pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me from the misery and pain. My body was hurt so badly inside I could never be the same.
My search is really over now... I found happiness within. All the answers to my empty dreams and all that might have been.
I love you all and miss you so. And I'll always be nearby. My body's gone forever. But my spirit will never die! And so, you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time. Just understand! God didn't take me from you, He Only Took My Hand.
