In the depth of despair,
there is a gulf of grief . . .
where the sorrows of this life
leaves us begging for relief.
The hurting soul can’t calm,
or remove the heartbreak
it needs the healing touch
of the One who won’t forsake.
We thirst for healing waters,
for a peaceful resting place
where we can purge the pain
that’s too unbearable to face.
The grieving soul can’t let go,
nor cause the ache to part
only God can relieve . . .
the throbbing in its heart.
In the depth of despair,
there is a gulf of grief . . .
and only Jesus can bring
the heartbroken true relief!
~~~~~~~~
“And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.”
