The Melody of Life’s Sorrows
Struggles drying up the vibrancy of life
Tornadoes blowing maelstroms of chaos and strife
Heartaches inching closer to life’s destruction
Sorrows blinding wind whipping life like a suction
Yet, sensing Jesus’ comforting warm embrace
Lifting my downcast spirit as I run life’s race
Like a cascading waterfall’s melodious sounds
Speaking to me through life’s painful difficult rounds
Jesus hides me in the shadow of his wings
With sweetness like a symphony he softly sings
In his secret place he holds and comforts me
Teaching me to trust in him and see life’s glee
Loving me with an everlasting grace filled love
Showing me peace’s gentle consuming dove
Urging me to abide daily in his holy vine
Gently adoringly asking me, “Won’t you be mine?”
Yes, knowing victory is Him despite my plights
Lifting me from despair to heaven’s greatest heights
Worshiping the beauty of his everlasting reign
Letting me know waiting for Him was not in vain.
