Faith In Grief

Lord, I humbly pray for relief;
for I simply can no longer hide;
the depth of my unending grief;
is all of my Love, multiplied.

I’m shaken to the very core of belief;
for all life is held in your hand;
and I patiently pray for your relief;
to help me to understand.

I have lost that one most precious;
and need your strength to go on;
so I come to my Lord, most gracious;
and pray that the pain be gone.

I lack words to convey how I feel;
but, Lord, you know my thought;
and so today, I make my appeal;
comfort my loved one; you wrought.

Lord, grant a measure of your perspective;
that a glimmer of truth I’ll be able to see;
once I realize you’ve been protective;
that truth will set me free.

Although I now am filled with sorrow;
I know that my future has no fears;
today will become an endless tomorrow;
and you’ll wipe away all my tears.

When the day comes that you call me home;
tell my love to be there, on time and wait;
cause I’ve always hated to come home alone;
so we’ll meet just inside Eden’s gate.
