Today someone prays for comfort,
For those who have suffered loss.
God our Father in heaven understands,
He saw His Son die on the cross.
He knows the pain you are feeling,
His soul cries out to you.
He's holding you close to His heart,
He is carrying you through.
God, the Father of compassion,
Enfolds you with His comfort...
He tells you not to sorrow hopelessly,
Because eternal life, His Son has bought.
Our loved one's bodies have fallen asleep,
Their spirits have gone to be with the Lord.
When Jesus returns, He'll bring the dead,
And their bodies will be their eternal reward.
Right now you feel weary and empty,
There's a void that cannot be filled.
Each day feels so long and so lonely,
The pain within won't be stilled.
"Blessed are those who mourn,
For they will be comforted..."
These promises the Lord has given,
As your tears from Him can't be hid.
With God we need not fear,
No sadness should cloud our minds,
For each moment lies in His hands,
With Him, peace is what we'll find.
So cast all sorrow upon Him,
Fret not about what tomorrow may bring,
For the Lord watches over His children,
With Him, we can face anything.
