SEASON OF SORROW

Waves of grief sweep over me

tears run down my face,

sudden sadness floods my soul

I wish I could erase.

But when you are so sad,

there is no quick relief

or instant magic potion

to suppress your painful grief!

My spirit rests in Jesus

and I call upon His name,

life goes on as usual

yet nothing is the same.

It's not a lack of faith

or weakness on our part,

grief must run its course

it's a matter of the heart.

Jesus wept for Lazarus

as natural as can be...

He will gently comfort you

just like He comforts me.

There's no shame in sorrow,

allow yourself to cry...

Jesus knows your sadness,

because He can identify!
