IT IS NOT IN VAIN

[MIRIAM JACOB]

IT IS NOT IN VAIN

When your heart aches
And it seems as if any soul's anchor
Has been ripped off the moorings,

It is not in vain,

When you can't breathe
For the things that have come against you
With disbelief you must go on,

It is not in vain,

When peace eludes you
And all the hallelujahs
Are merely echoes of gratefulness long past,

It is not in vain,

For there are others
Who share this uphill journey
Though you only feel the disconnect

It is not in vain,

For there is One
Who records every ounce
Of the burden you bear for His purpose

It is not in vain,

For you shall bring healing
To so many others with
Similar stories, linked arm in arm,

It is not in vain..
It is not in vain..
