Your heart wants to weep
But it can’t weep
Your eyes want to cry
But it can’t shed its tears.
And so you listen
To songs that weep
And you read stories
Where the hero cries.
Nobody sees
And nobody hears
When your heart screams
And your soul starts to bleed.
Here I am for you
Here I am with you
Here I am to see you
Here I am to love you.
Only three words
That says a lot
Three little words
That mean so much.
Here I am
I surrender all and give my all,
And I shall love you
with all the love I have in me.
In this valley of sorrow, in this valley of tears
Is there a kind of heart that can recognize our griefs?
In this place of darkness, in this place of fear
Is there a faithful hand who can comfort those who weep?
Sometimes it feels as though there is no one who can hear,
And many are the days when in silence we shed our tears,
With so many people who claim they know how to love,
How then is there not one who can be sent from up above?
Just one heart is all we need, one heart that understands,
A heart that knows our pain and lends a helping hand.
Who can find the courage and who can find a way,
To bring some light to many until night turns into day.
Reflection:
No matter how much happiness we have experienced in life, we can’t deny our share of sorrows. This life may be blessed, but our joy here will always be mingled with pain. Maybe that is why we’d always see the scars upon the hands of Jesus. Maybe that is why His sacred heart must be surrounded with thorns.
It is to tell us Someone has also experienced our many griefs. It is to tell us that we are not alone. We have One who shares our sorrows, One who shares our deepest hurts.
We still walk this valley of tears, but we need not walk alone.
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” – Psalm 23:4, WEBBE
A new day shall come again,
A new day of hope,
And of peace.
A day when dreams can be built again,
A day when love can blossom once more,
A day when we’d see what’s in store,
For those who do not give up.
So even when you can’t see yet,
That small light over the horizon,
Even when it’s still cold and it’s still dark,
Keep your hopes up,
And look for that brand new day.
It will definitely come.
It shall not abandon you,
To your worst fears,
But shall give you healing,
And make you soar,
On eagle’s wings.
Let me hold on to the pain
For just a moment more,
Take not away the tears
Which alone can keep me warm.
For I’d rather mourn
Than learn to forget
I’d rather remember
Every hour since we’ve met.
For though grief pains me now,
It also keeps my joy
Though your memory haunts me now,
It brings me closer to your soul.
Oh that I may learn
To be stronger than my pain,
And that I may find
A way to live again.
