Pain That I Can't Heal

 

I feel a little lost these days,
So much pain everywhere.
Although it isn’t mine, I still
Feel the weight of despair.
 
So many loved ones have been lost,
Too many tears are shed.
They are not mine, yet still I grieve
And wish them peace instead.
 
Oh Lord, I know that pain will ease
And tears will dry one day,
But until then I’m saddened that
All I can do is pray.
 
Although I cannot heal their pain,
I feel it in my heart
And I am grateful that You can
Complete what I can’t start.
 
You take the broken hearts of man
And bind them with Your grace
Until they heal enough to let
Your peace take the pain’s place.
 
Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
