"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death
or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed
away." (Revelation 21:4 NIV)
SHOULD I THANK HIM FOR MY PAIN?
SO MANY THINGS TO THANK YOU FOR
SO MANY MOUNTAINS TALL AND STRONG.
SO MANY TIMES YOU'VE HEALED MY HEART
AND SPARED ME FROM HURT AND WRONG.
THE OCEAN WAVES THAT FILL MY SOUL
WITH STRENGTH FROM UP ABOVE.
THE TALL OAK TREES THAT STAND SO TALL
AND ALL MY FAMILIES LOVE.
THE MORNING COFFEE SMELLS SO GOOD
THE BREEZE IS MISTY IN THE AIR.
THE FOOD YOU HAVE GIVEN ME
IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SHARE.
MY HUSBAND'S SMILING FACE EACH DAY
AS HE SHARES HIS LOVE WITH ME.
THE SCAMPERING OF MY GRANDCHILDREN.
MY ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO SEE.
THANK YOU GOD FOR COLOR.
THANK YOU GOD FOR RAIN.
THANK YOU GOD FOR FLOWERS.
BUT SHOULD I THANK YOU FOR MY PAIN?
YES YOU SAY AS YOU HOLD ME CLOSE TO YOU.
WITHOUT THE PAIN YOU WOULDN'T FEEL
AND THATS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
YOUR PAIN LAYS STEPS FOR YOU TO BE YOU.
THE GREATEST PAIN THAT EVER COULD BE
WAS THE PAIN I TOOK FOR YOU
WHEN I DIED UPON CALVARY'S TREE.
I DID IT SO I COULD SEE.
SO TAKE YOUR PAIN AND GIVE IT TO ME
BUT ALLOW IT TO HELP YOU GROW
AND ALLOW THE POSITIVE IN YOU
TO SHINE EVERYDAY DAY AND FLOW.
YOUR PRECIOUS PAIN WILL SOME DAY
BE GONE FOR EVER MORE
BUT YOU CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE
WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU IN STORE.
I HAD TO FEEL YOUR PAIN MY CHILD
AND KNOW WHAT YOU GO THROUGH
THATS WHY I GAVE MY LIFE FOR ALL
AND I WILL ALWAYS SEE YOU THROUGH.
