Psalm 56:10-11

 

Psalm 56:10-11

In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?

There are so many things we do

That cause hurt or dismay

To those we love, or those we hate,

Or those met on our way.

Some of the damage is by plan,

And some by accident,

But, either way, the damage done

Leaves pain and discontent.

There is no cure born of mankind

That can heal that much pain,

And, even when the wounds have healed,

The tortured scars remain.

It is in God, and God alone,

That great healing is found.

A love so pure it finds the lost

And turns them back around.

When each day rises in the dawn

I never know for sure

If it will be a day of joy

Or pain I must endure.

The only thing I truly know

With all my weary soul,

Is, by the time the sun has set,

God will make my wounds whole.

So I will place my trust in Him

Who holds dawn in His hand,

For He holds more power to heal

Than we can understand.
