COMFORT IN GRIEF
When we are
struck by dread
in the dead of night,
as anxiety and fears
threaten to tear us apart,
and shred our determination
to stick it out to the bitter end,
that's when we hear the gentle voice
of Christ whisper comfort to our hearts.
As the whirlwinds of doubt and distress
seek to sweep us away into the wilderness,
Christ hugs us ever-so-close in His embrace,
with a love and understanding surpassing all.
He helps us cross the haze of our pain
into the comfort of His compassion,
as He gently wipes away our tears
to lift us on the wings of His grace,
and fill our hearts with His quiet peace,
to give us comfort and healing in grief,
in this divine place of sweet relief,
where hope awakes with heaven's grace,
and Jesus satisfies.
He fills us with His living water,
come and taste His living power,
as He resurrects us by His Spirit.
His love is forever,
Blessed truth to inspire,
When we call, He answers,
calms our every ache and pain,
to make us whole in His embrace
as we trace His love in the rainbow
after the tempestuous storm is over,
through every trial we will prevail.
There is hope in the raging tempest
as Jesus is our safety rope,
and He helps us to cope,
by keeping us afloat
on His promise of truth.
Our faith ebbs and flows
with the passing tide but
never dies a bleak death.
Trust Him in your pain,
let His love be your rain.
allow His hope to wake you up
and His grace to fill your cup.
Let His Blood cleanse you,
wash you spotless,
make you blameless,
without flaw or blemish,
saved by His grace,
out of doubt's gloom
to give you a fleeting
glimpse of eternity.
Grasp His healing truth
to awaken your heart to
His life-transforming love.
