Pain

What pain and what heartache

You suffer today

What anguish and misery

Has come now your way

My heart is there with you

I know of your pain

My tears too are falling

Like hard heavy rain

The future, the blessing

That God has in store

When he with his spirit

Your heart will restore

But just for the moment

Today and beyond

The pressure is heavy

Your heart can't respond

Though heavy your burden

And deep now your ache

One day in the future

Our God will it take

For time and its passage

Will help with your grief

And one day from the shadows

You will find relief

Because of the pressure

The ache deep within

I know that Jehovah

Your healing begins
