AND JESUS SAID

I know you’re hurting, precious one,
I’ve even saved your tears.
I’ve seen you struggle through your pain,
With days that seem like years.

When thinking of what lies ahead,
You fear you can’t go on.
You wonder how you’ll find the strength
To face another dawn.

But if you fully trust that I
Can calm the raging flood,
I’ll give you deep and lasting peace.
‘Twas paid for with my blood.

There’s not a limit to my love.
It’s fresh and new each day.
And you will never be alone,
For close to you I’ll stay.
