Encouragement

---

As we think of the lives that are lost
Regarded as nothing at all
The heartache and agony of those that are left
The devastation of the fall

The children left without a Mum
To embrace them when they cry
The many alone without a daddy
To tuck them in bed at night

The parents also left to grieve
For the children they have lost
Husbands and wives also weep
Paying an unbelievable cost

There is hope, a glimpse of light
Amidst these darkened days
Our Lord Jesus who loves us so much
And hears when we kneel to pray

He can bring healing to the hurting heart
And comfort to those who weep
He is the strength that we can receive
For His love is ever so deep

Still we’re left wondering how this happened
And why all this needless grief
So many questions remain unanswered
We just need to have faith and believe

That our loving God is still in control
Though the remnants of terror remain
The broken lives and shattered dreams
The unspoken anguish and pain

He knows full well how we are feeling
He identifies grief with us
We can be sure that He loves us so
For He is a God of love.
