Why this lingering sadness? You have been loved from your creation The day you were placed upon this earth Your mother was thrilled to see your face And your father's heart leapt for joy Why doubt the goodness of your existence? Your soul is of eternity The mind of God conceived you You were thought of in a sea of light and purity No stain was found in your being Should you now reject the kindness of God? Each breath, each ray of sunshine Every miracle of life? Have you forgotten that God is in the details Or have you listened to the lies? You are on a journey home and each day is a gift Feel your life, be grateful Believe that good will come out of darkness Life out of death And healing from even the most grievous injury Rejoice, be happy for all is well And this sadness will pass like a storm driven cloud And you will stand In the brilliance of the sun After the rain
