Here are the lyrics to a song by Building 429 that I think speak so much more than any speech ever could. I really like it. Listen to it yourself, or just read the lyrics.

I was standing in the pour raining

One dark November night

Fighting off the bitter cold

When she caught my eye

Her face was torn and her eyes were filled

And then to my surprise

She pulled out a photograph

And my heart just stopped inside

She said, "He would have been three today

I miss his smile, I miss his face."

What was I supposed to say?

 

But I believe always, always

Our Savior never fails

Even when all hope is gone

God knows our pain, and His promise remains

He will be with you always

 

He was living in a broken world dreaming of a home

His heart was barely keeping pace

When I found him all alone

Remembering the way he felt

When his daddy said goodbye

Fighting just to keep the tears

And the anger locked inside.

He's barely holding on to faith

But deliverance is on its way

 

Cause I believe always, always

Our Savior never fails

Even when all hope is gone

God knows our pain and His promise remains

He will be with you always

 

Friend I don't know where you are

And I don't know where you've been

Maybe you're fighting for your life

Or just about to throw the towel in

But if you're crying out for mercy

If there's no hope left at all

If you've given everything you've got

And you're still about to fall

Well hold on, hold on, hold on

 

Cause I believe always always

Our Savior never fails

Even when all faith is gone

God knows our pain and His promise remains

Always, Always

He will be with you always

He will be with you always

He will be with you
