The Promise
There's a promise in our sorrow,
A blessing when we sigh;
There's a light beyond the shadows,
And a cleansing when we cry.
So when we are discouraged,
And we face tremendous grief,
It is during times of troubles,
That our Father sends relief.
With our heart in tune with Jesus,
Our source of joy and peace;
Be mindful of His promise,
That all our sufferings He will cease.
He's cried our tears of sadness;
He's felt our every pain.
He's walked our paths before us,
All glory to His name!
Just listen for the Spirit,
As it whispers to be still;
For there is joy and there is comfort
Beyond sad Calvary's hill.
So if your skies should darken,
And if the earth should quake;
Remember life has its struggles,
On this journey that we take.
The aftermath of sorrow,
Is beauty and pure light;
If we can fight the battle,
And pray with soul and might.
He sent us rainbow colors,
To follow cleansing rains;
He showed us there are miracles
That come with all our pain.
Seek forbearance in the hardships,
Or when we fear the dark unknown,
Cast your burdens on the Savior,
Until He comes to take us home.
He is our great redeemer,
Our only true best friend;
He promised to never leave us,
He will guide us to the end.
Dedicated with love to Papa,
~Shawnee~
