Isaiah 61:3
















I wept in sorrow half the night 
I feared what dawn might bring
Too many burdens on my mind
My heart felt sorrows sting
I wept until my burning eyes
had no more tears to spill
And in the silence that remained
A voice spoke, soft and still.
"You are my child", I heard it say,
"And though you're filled with fear,
I've wrapped my arms around you tight
And I will stay right here
To bring you comfort in your your pain,
To hold you in your fright,
And lift your heart to joy and praise
To greet the new day's light." 



Isaiah 61:
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
  to bestow on them a crown of beauty
  instead of ashes,
  the oil of gladness
  instead of mourning,
  and a garment of praise
  instead of a spirit of despair.
