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.
