When pain like a bramble
Creeps into your heart uninvited
And peace without notice gives you
A notice of divorce
Pause, Pray and Persevere
Knowing that you will
One day laugh again.
When heaviness heaps
It’s heavy weight on your mind
Like the load on the back
Of a tired donkey
And depression dampens
Your resolve like the irregular
Rains of the August break
Hang on, Hold out and Hand over
Your will to Heaven
Satisfied that you will
One day laugh again.
When infirmity invades your body
Like soldier ants on assignment
And tiredness tears your mind apart
Like paper for the trash can
Reach out, Realise and Read aloud
The promise of His Word
Assured that to them that fear His Name
The Sun of Righteousness will arise
With healing in His Wings .
The dark night of pain cannot last forever
There is a day break in the horizon somewhere.
The thick cloud of despair will not
Always float along your way.
There is a wind to disperse every dark cloud.
When pain like a bramble
Creeps into your heart uninvited
And peace without notice gives you
A notice of divorce
Pause, Pray and Persevere
Knowing that you will
One day laugh again.
