For They Shall Be Comforted

 

When all the sorrows of this life
Weigh heavy on my heart,
I bow my head beneath that weight
And let the grieving start.
 
A loved one lost in suffering,
A heartbreak I can’t face,
And nowhere in my darkest hour
Is there a sign of grace.
 
Until I raise my eyes to You,
My prayers I lift through tears
Into the hands of Him who heals
My pain and soothes my fears.
 
Oh, Lord, I know this world is rife
With sorrow, pain and loss.
It is as if all hope of joy
Is burned away like dross.
 
Yet, in my sorrow there is joy,
A silent spark of light,
That reminds me You are the one
Who overcame the night.
 
You are the Lord who called forth light
And shattered night’s control
Of all the worlds through all of time
And redeemed every soul.
 
Though I may grieve this bitter loss,
I cherish with delight
The truth that she will soon rejoice
Within Your perfect light.
 
Matthew 5:4
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”

For JSK and her family as the walk through this time of grief.
