How do you comfort
A grieving soul?
What do you say?
How do you console?
How do you lessen
Grief and sorrow?
How do you give hope
For tomorrow?
How do you give
To a person cheer
When they lose
A loved one that is dear?
How do you help them
As they are grieved?
How do you comfort
Someone bereaved?
The answer, I believe,
Is to pray
That God will give you
"His" words to say.
Trust in His healing
To close grief’s door
As you listen
To their heart’s outpour.
He understands
The way that they feel
And through your love,
He can touch and heal.
God and your love
Can help and console-
That’s how you comfort
A grieving soul.
