MY FATHER AND YOUR FATHER

Deep grief can hurt very deeply;

The heart is torn and tears flow freely.

No words can bring the needed relief;

The soul is wounded beyond belief.

 

The Lord knows the grief that we feel;

The pain seems interminable and real.

He reaches out to us, calling us by name;

It is not wrong to feel weak, there is no shame.

 

The Lord Jesus spoke of God being our Father;

He Himself has related to Him like no other.

The Father will be there to give strength and hope;

The Risen Saviour is the Proof that we can cope!

 

Let not grief destroy life’s foundations;

Our faith in God offers full redemption.

Joy will be the true strength of our Life;

With faith in God we can overcome strife!
