Monday's Mourning Ministry


I Am Cast to the Ground . . .

Knowing You'll Be There


~Gaither Vocal Band







I Am Cast to the Ground . . .



I am cast to the ground . . .

But, Lord, that's when You come roun' ~

I am grieved to the core . . .

That's when I feel Your love more.

I'm lied to and betrayed;

But that's when real friends are made.

Oh Lord, I've lost my child!

But I sense Your Spirit, mild.


I am weak and I'm lost

. . . I recall You paid death's cost.

I'm thrilled my child's with You;

You restore my heart anew.

God, I'm lost without You.


"My child, I'll never leave you."


Lord, be with me in my pain,

For my loss is my child's gain.


. . . Tears soothe my heart like rain.

Knowing You'll Be There


~Gaither Vocal Band



The other day, I passed the place

you always liked to go,

and I picked up the phone

because I thought you'd want to know,

but I forgot you weren't there

I miss you on these days

then I'm reminded of your smile

and the funny things you'd say.


I see you most at Christmas

You were like a little kid.

You always loved a good surprise

and now I must admit

that I long more for Heaven

than I ever did before,

You give me one more reason,

and each day, I want it more.


Knowing we can spend a lifetime

reminiscing on the past

knowing I will see your face again

where tender moments last,

It makes me want to go there.

Knowing I won't be alone,

Knowing You'll be there

makes it easy to go home.



You left a group of fishermen.

Somehow You left me too,

though I have felt You many times

and know You saw me through.

I've always longed to feel Your arms

and look into your eyes

and talk forever, me and You,

somewhere in Paradise


Knowing we can spend a lifetime

reminiscing on the past

knowing I will see your face again

where tender moments last,

it makes me want to go there.

Knowing I won't be alone,

Knowing You'll be there

makes it easy to go home.

Just knowing You'll be there

makes it easy to go home.
