Overcome with tragedy,
my life's been torn apart;
All I've known is sadness,
'til broken is my heart.
~
I knew who I should call,
to help in my dismay;
I called out to my Jesus,
and He had this to say.
~
"Dear, sweet child of mine,
do not be dismayed;
Lay your burdens on me,
each one I'll gladly take.
~
And when I see you crying,
I'll dry the tears you shed;
I never will forsake you,
you're one of my dear friends.
~
If you should lose your way,
I'll guide you with my love;
Lost you'll never be,
I'll be watching from above.
~
God cares for you so much,
He sent His only Son;
Salvation I did offer,
to you and everyone.
~
People laughed at me,
just as they do to you;
I loved them anyway,
and forgave all they did do.
~
So do not be afraid,
for I have been there too;
People turned away from me,
they simply had no clue.
~
So go to sleep my dearest,
wipe all your fears away;
Tomorrow will be better,
just trust in what I say."
