Gone Forever

Lyrics

Lay my head upon my pillow Trying hard to sleep Lying in a bed of comfort I began to weep How can I just dream my dreams And simply drift along When I know by the time I wake Thousands will be gone They'll be gone forever, perishing alone Gone forever, never having known Of One who loved them with a love They never knew in life So I cry in the darkness 'Cause they never saw the Light Lord, how it must break Your heart To see them slip away Perishing in countless numbers Every passing day Half the world has never yet Even heard Your name And those of us who know You well We're the ones to blame Gone forever, perishing alone Gone forever, never having known Of One who loved them with a love They never knew in life So I cry in the darkness 'Cause they never saw the Light And how will they know And now who will go To take the message Of Your love to everyone They'll be gone forever, perishing alone They'll be gone forever, never having known Of One who loved them with a love They never knew in life So I cry in the darkness 'Cause they never saw the Light Gone forever Gone forever Gone forever Gone forever...
