When the pain in our hearts is more than we can bear,
Jesus keeps His promise that He'll always be there.
With loving arms around us, He holds us while we cry.
He feels our sorrow and shares it; one day, all tears He'll dry.
For though this day holds sorrow; our hearts feel heavy as lead.
There is a reunion tomorrow, when, in Heaven, we meet instead.
This life is just a vapor, complete when God says so.
Real life with Him is eternal, no more sadness will we know.
So, though we miss our loved ones, we know where they have gone.
With Jesus' arms around us, we'll make it to the dawn.
They say that grief is a personal thing; God says that isn't so.
When all our hurt to Him we bring, He heals and makes us whole.
