Product Description
An original hymn with text by Mark Fotheringham below.
Long after parting,
After you have gone,
Prayers ascend to heaven
With each breaking dawn.
"Keep him safe from danger.
Help him know Thy Son.
E'en through trial and troubles,
Help him soldier on."
"Bless as he is faithful.
Help him serve with joy.
As I can't be with him,
Bless my son, my boy."
Long after parting,
I am far away.
Still my prayer is offered
Every passing day.
"Thank you, God, for family,
For their loving care.
Keep them all together
E'en though I'm not there."
"Help them know the goodness
Thou hast shown to me.
As I can't be with them,
Bless my family."
Long after parting
God still answers prayer
Offered up in earnest
From the heart with care.
"Those who spread My Gospel,
Crossing sea or land,
All their generations
Prosper at My Hand."
"I will bless and strengthen
Those who for Me roam,
All My sons and daughters,
'Til they come back home."
