My Lord sustains me day and night when I'm away from home To be apart from the love of my life & also our little boy is often more than I can bear The time drags on, each minute lingers I lay in the hospital bed staring at the clock slowly ticking on the wall Each moment feels like a lifetime when I'm not with my boys Too long I've been gone - my useless legs holding me back But...my Lord sustains me day and night
After more than a month I heard the cry in the wind It was calling me gently "it's time to come home" I pushed myself harder every day Until I at last could stand and even walk a step or two I begged the doctors please let me go home My family needs me and I need them more than you'll ever know At last the good news made it to me The doctors agreed I could go home - at last, I am finally free Without a doubt, I know it's true... My Lord sustains me day and night
Too many days have passed but my boys are coming up at last These last few hours lingered on so long I thought that time had finally ceased As I lie there patiently awaiting my best friend I heard the voice of an angel floating in the air right towards me In less than an instant his cherub little face rounded the corner with a smile from ear to ear My boys had made the day long trip and finally arrived I can't believe it's happening but I'm really going home Right at that very moment it became clear as clear could be I know with all my heart and soul... My Lord sustains me day and night
