THROUGH LOSS OR PAIN

I see you there in tears, My child
Through deep distress and pain
I know you cannot comprehend
The ministry of loss or gain.

But in this plan for you, My child
Beyond the reach of space
There is a reason you will know
The day I meet you face-to-face.

I need for you to see, My child
The cross you're called to bear
Is just the one that Jesus took
And calls today for you to share.

So in your loss or pain, My child
Let peace and comfort reign
So others in distress by loss
May also honor Jesus' name.
--B. Pent
