This Pain

This pain in my heart never seemed to go away
Playing a bigger and bigger part with each new passing day
And no matter what you do to try to get it under control
This pain continually grew ending up taking a terrible toll

All medications would fail and no therapy could cure
It was a treacherous tail of which I couldn't take any more
Every day was such a battle one which I could only lose
That pain was like a saddle in not knowing the good news

With so little left inside and no where else to turn
I just broke down and cried in feeling that yearn
Falling down to my knees and bowing my head
I offered up my pleas and began praying in my head

And in that moment just as soon as I started
That pain just went and all those feelings departed
Opening up my eyes and  then looking up above
I finally came to realize I was missing God's love
