I am sitting here in tears.
The pain is so great.
It is very hard to bear.
I think of Jesus.
All the pain He went through.
I wonder if He shed some tears.
He did not have to bear that pain.
I am so glad that His love was so great.
No matter what pain I might have.
It will not make a dent in His pain.
The pain Jesus carried for us that day.
He will still carry our pain today.
If we will just ask.
I need to wipe away my tears.
Think of the things Jesus did for me.
The things He will still do.
I need to fight and go on.
Do the work that is ahead for me.
There are so many with more severe pain
They do not know Jesus.
The help that He can bring.
They are still carrying there pain all alone.
The pain of a broken heart.
The pain of no hope.
The pain of not knowing where they belong.
I will give my pain for Jesus to carry.
A pain that He does not deserve.
A pain that He will carry.
For He loves me so.
Then I can do the work He has for me.
To go tell others.
Who can take there pain away.
