Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Lamb has opened Heaven's door
Offer your secret agony
With the Mother who weeps on Calvary
Dear daughter, persevere
In the love that brings you here
Yes, there is a time to grieve
And there comes a time when you must believe
Every sorrow turns to joy
As you remember, only remember
You are a treasure to me
Dear Mama, weep no more
I wait for you at heaven's door
Offer your secret agony
With the Mother who weeps on Calvary
Dear Papa persevere
In the love that brings you here
Yes, there is a time to grieve
And there comes a time when you must believe
You are forgiven all, forgiven all
Every sorrow turns to joy
As you remember, only remember
You are a treasure to me
La la la la la la la, La la la la la
Nothing is impossible for the one who loves
Nothing is impossible for the one who loves
You can carry me, carry me, you can carry me
Yes, there is a time to grieve
And there comes a time when you must believe
You are forgiven all, forgiven all
Every sorrow turns to joy
As you remember, only remember
You are a treasure to me
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Nothing is impossible for the one who loves
Nothing is impossible for the one who loves

I was blessed to be one in a duet that sung this at the dedication of a memorial for the unborn in the Diocese of La Crosse, WI, in 2009. Someone took a picture of our bishop as he stood beside me; resting on his crosier, his eyes closed, and his face showing the contemplation of a soul lost in this haunting message. Thank you for sharing the beautiful gift God has given you. 😔❤️🩹🙏🏼
