Black and Blue

It was all black and blue; Who else, like the fated girl Could stand the watch? She had to do it without a fuss Though it had been part of her day. Now on the way, Weary and worn, She has left and gone And nothing remains. I swore since then If you behold one like her Or just catch a glimpse of a similar face Let me know. For this message I am to deliver; I was told not to say This is going on without its end to know. I should tell of what sweet destiny awaits In the land of the redeemed A place for the ransomed And the nation of the brave. Worries have nothing to do With they that hold the promise. Why be scared as if there was no God In the whole world to save? Can I now bear that sight And try to forget all I had to face? I wish there could be enough of voices To whisper this to me “Be still my heart, the Lord is on thy side”. What strength to know What joy to hear!
