Crushing Grief

On days like this it’s just so hard

To get up and go out.
The sorrow crashes down again,
I’m plagued with fear and doubt.
 
Oh Lord, I cry out in my pain
Please force me out the door!
You’ve given so much to me, Lord,
Please give me one thing more;
 
Give me the strength to face this day,
The courage to believe
That if I just get up and go
I’ll forget how to grieve.
 
I’ll leave behind the doubts that spring
From within my own heart.
I know they’re lies, but they crush me.
Dear Lord, Just help me start!
 
John 16:20
Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
