[00:01.80]I See Everything -La Dispute
[00:08.810]Like any morning of my
[00:10.550]Junior year
[00:11.800]I stumble in the classroom
[00:13.200]Late but this day I see
[00:15.79]Faces I feel
[00:16.339]An air like a funeral
[00:17.639]Like a wake
[00:18.669]As I sit down
[00:20.779]Teacher speaking
[00:21.969]Somewhat sombrely
[00:23.389]But still confident and calm
[00:25.399]Part eulogy
[00:26.469]Her speech and
[00:28.99]Part poem part celebration song
[00:29.839]Her warmth and smile
[00:31.459]She passes photocopies
[00:32.709]Out to us of entries
[00:34.679]From a journal
[00:35.749]Kept so long ago
[00:37.399]She starts to read
[00:38.769]And suddenly
[00:40.479]It's 1980
[00:42.559]March 5
[00:43.709]The cancer is furious
[00:45.399]But our son is resilient
[00:47.689]We have all the faith
[00:49.298]We'll get through this
[00:50.458]No matter what the end
[00:52.158]Treatments are violent but
[00:54.488]He keeps on smiling
[00:56.158]It's amazing
[00:57.278]Finding joy in the little things
[00:59.998]April 12
[01:01.818]Andrew's appetite's improved
[01:03.978]And we thank God everyday
[01:05.827]But still it's hard sometimes
[01:07.717]To see him in that scarecrow frame
[01:10.807]July 9
[01:11.767]There's a suffering
[01:12.926]When I look in his eyes
[01:15.406]He's been through so much
[01:17.55]We've all been through so much but
[01:20.104]What incredible resolve
[01:22.483]Our little boy shows only 7
[01:24.342]Standing face to face with death
[01:26.552]He said it's easy to find people
[01:29.32]Who have suffered worse than him
[01:31.312]"Like Jesus suffered worse than anyone"
[01:33.791]He told me last night
[01:35.751]"When God abandoned him"and
[01:37.780]September 20
[01:39.189]We've been playing in the yard
[01:41.429]Lately his spirits are high
[01:43.489]Although his blood counts aren't
[01:46.259]October 14
[01:47.609]He feels tired all the time
[01:49.329]November 30
[01:50.699]At the hospital again
[01:52.668]It feels like home when we're here
[01:54.828]December 8
[01:56.87]He's getting worse
[01:59.337]January 19
[02:03.227]We buried our son today
[02:07.746]Our youngest child
[02:09.656]And while his death was ugly
[02:12.425]We must not
[02:14.245]Let it scare us from God
[02:16.355]Abundant grace has restored him
[02:19.44]A brand new body
[02:20.884]And set him free from the torture
[02:23.314]Finally rid of the cancer
[02:25.194]Before the moment he left
[02:27.454]He briefly wrested from death
[02:29.963]Suddenly opened his eyes
[02:31.963]Said "I see everything"
[02:34.643]"I see everything"
[02:36.603]And I will never forget it
[02:39.873]The peace and the comfort
[02:41.413]You displayed through a pain
[02:43.473]That I can only imagine
[02:46.453]The loss of a child
[02:48.163]To the torture of cancer
[02:50.623]Help me
[02:52.323]Cause I can only imagine
[02:54.543]How you recovered
[02:55.843]Kept your faith
[02:56.903]And held the brightness of life
[02:59.143]Inside the smile of a child
[03:01.41]You had to bury
[03:03.611]And I will never forget him
[03:06.371]Or your steadfast faith
[03:08.131]No I will never forget you
[03:10.281]Now six or seven years later
[03:12.691]I'm devoid of all faith
[03:14.821]I am empty of comfort
[03:17.211]And I am weary of waiting
[03:19.301]Though I've felt nowhere what you have
[03:22.21]I see nothing at all
[03:23.961]Though I've felt nowhere what he did
[03:26.220]My eyes are closed
