Madison's Song-Original

My sweet friend Madison Knebusch battled cancer for three years, and today, January 12th, 2012, at age 16, she went home to be with the Lord. I wrote this song in dedication to her life here on earth, and her new life with Jesus that is just beginning. I love you Madison. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Lyrics:
There's a pain that's weighing on my heart today
Tears in place of all the words I couldn't find
But as I'm here, kneeling at God's feet to pray
He whispers in my ear, He has the best for you in mind

But there's so many things that I wish I could've said
You touched so many lives, with the one life that you led
A heart so tender, but the strength to carry on
God's little warrior, now the victory is won

You have fought the good fight
you have finished the race
you have kept the faith, giving God the glory
As you're lifted high
please know our love never dies
God give her wings and teach her how to fly
How to fly
My heart is filled with a peace that I can't contain
And I smile, thinking of all the joy you'll have
But I wish with all my heart, that I could step in and take your place
To show how strong you are, to give a little something back

And There's so many things that I wish I could've said
You touched so many lives, with the one life that you led
A heart so tender, but the strength to carry on
God's little warrior, now the victory is won

You have fought the good fight
you have finished the race
you have kept the faith, giving God the glory
As you're lifted high
please know our love never dies
God give her wings and teach her how to fly
How to fly, How to fly

Now you're staring at heaven's doors, and the gates are open wide
Your smile it reminds us, that this is not goodbye
"I'll see you again" you say and take your final breath
God's little warrior now is safe and warm with Him

You have fought the good fight
you have finished the race
you have kept the faith, giving God the glory
As you're lifted high
please know our love never dies
God gave you wings and taught you how to fly
How to fly, How to fly

You have fought the good fight
you have finished the race
you have kept the faith, giving God the glory
As you're lifted high
please know our love never dies
God gave you wings and taught you how to fly
How to fly, How to fly

@MereChels Aweee thank you so much. I appreciate the encouragement, and I am so glad you love the song, and that it speaks to you!

But don't talk yourself down about your singing. I have never heard you, but I know that you can't compare voices, because they are all different. And God has given us a different voice for a reason. He wants us to be our own voice.

@bralon7 Awee thank you so much! I am so glad that you were touched by this song. It has been such an incredible thing to see how God has used this simple song, that God had me write for comfort and healing for myself, to touch and bring the same comfort and healing to others! I am honored to be His instrument. (: Thank you for your kind words! God bless you too!
