For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 (ESV)

Grief and joy, tears filling the same empty space


This present suffering, the testing of one’s faith


Will this pain still be there, overwhelming tomorrow


Can well-intentioned words turn back this sorrow


Is there solace ever in death’s hollow cup


Ahh! Just now the prayers of the saints raise me up


Surrounding me with Love’s perfect embrace


Kneeling at The Cross, anew, I find His mercy and grace


For there is only One, who suffered and died


Defeating our sin and deserved doom, gifting us life


Everlasting, to be with Him, our hope and promise


Christ Jesus is The Living Word overcoming my distress


And in Whom I find needed strength, peace and rest
