Losing Someone Hurts

Nothing seems to erase the pain Of losing someone you love Memories return now and again Come; bring your hurts to God above Losing someone hurts; now that's true Death snatches him from your hands Circumstances separate her from you Come; place your pain in Jesus's hands 'Could I have prevented that loss?' 'If only I could turn back time...' Come; lay your regrets at the cross God unfolds His plans in His time Grief leads our eyes to God's mercy In brokenness, He comforts us In loneliness, He keeps us company No one knows grief better than Jesus His disciples abandoned Him When His enemies took Him away The Father turned His face from Him As He bore our sins on that Day Cling to Christ, our loving Saviour Though you can make no sense of grief When you're unsure and filled with fear Fix your gaze on Him and find relief

Nice and true words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Yet some of your rhymes were repenting words and some simple. I do like the last stanza rhyme the most. The first stanza did not rhyme but made a lot of sense. Amen
