Through the eyes of grief,
I’ve seen the effects of pain
I’ve watched others fall apart
from under its heavy strain.
I’ve witnessed for myself,
the heartbreak of tragedy
I’ve experienced the depth
of its excruciating agony.
Through the eyes of grief,
I’ve seen sorrow’s anguish
I’ve watched mine dissipate
I’ve also seen it languish.
I’ve seen what sorrow does,
in the lives of those grieving
how some turn from God
while others keep believing.
Though the eyes of grief,
I’ve seen what God can do
for I am an eyewitness . . .
of what grief can do to you.
So, if your heart is broken,
under the weight of grief
may you know God is waiting
to bring you peace and relief!
~~~~~~
“And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be
no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be
any more pain:
for the former things
are passed away.”
King James Version
