Grief That Won'T Let You Go - 2

She was grieving inside her soul Longing for hope to open a door She couldn’t rest in her broken heart Her spirit was melting from the flames Of a sadness that penetrated her mind Fell across her life like a shadow of night Never allowing the wonder of His joy inside She was angry, lost in the sorrow Her heart felt faint and her life was so quiet Without the one she loved, the one who Was taken up to heaven, beyond her grasp Without this little one, her faith felt flat As if she couldn’t chance the thought Of feeling better or letting go of the hurt She was growing more miserable with time Nothing she had experienced changed the Pain that rained through her soul, her life Filling her with a dread, a doubt, a darkness That couldn’t be lifted by any amount of kindness Nothing on earth had prepared her for this Silent echo of mourning, regret, torment She was lost and felt so alone in her heart Where the grief never permitted peace Where the sorrow was never relieved She was in pain and the pain never eased But finally, in the twinkling of a smile There came to her a second chance to believe A second chance to know what it is to give From a heart who has lived through the doubt The throbbing, the sobbing of an anguish That is so deep and dark it saturates the mind With shadows that can’t even be defined Finally, she looked up to the Son Who lights up the heart and soul With His endless hope, faith and love The tenderness that reminds us all We have been blessed by the One Who created us, awakened us to love And poured out His spirit into our hearts Without Him – where would we be? There is no doubt He is the comfort and peace That reassures and reminds that love Is a treasure so alive, that despite the sorrow We hold hands with the heart who knows us As His children, the ones He gives Inspiration and joy, love that is wonderous! Praise Him – He is the One who reaches Past all the pain and cheers us so we know His love is alive, writing hope across our souls Sending light so we can see – the way it is When we allow Him to lead us with His grace His insight and peace – the love that He is Jesus is the answer to every need, each care. With Him living inside your heart, there is no doubt You know you have all your hope restored Your joy and peace reconditioned Your unconditional love is there with you Flowing from the One who pours His love out For your heart and soul to experience.
