My Comforter in Sorrow

Great is the sorrow of my heart

For what I know must be.

She turns her face to you tonight,

And turns away from me.

I know there’s peace for her with you

And respite from her pain.

She will not suffer any more,

But my pain will remain.

So I ask you, Lord, comfort me,

For I am lost in grief,

And only knowing you hold me  

Will bring me some relief.

Jeremiah 8:18
You who are my comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me.
