My heart was weighed with heavy grief
A load of sorrow strong
I walked the dusty desert road
Hot and dry and long
All hope was gone from in my soul
My spirit bowed with pain
I longed for pure compassion
Like I longed for gentle rain
But all I heard were songs of mirth
Of laughter, joy and cheer
I sought a hiding place so deep
That no one would be near
But I forgot that God will know
No matter where I go
And he will send just what I need
Because he loves me so
He sent me sweet compassion
And songs of love and hope
To bring a balm of healing
And a hand to help me cope
The sun began to shine again
The sky was turning blue
The birds began a gentle song
And rainbows glistened through
God promised there'd be trials
And troubles along the way
He promised he'd be with me
In my walk from day to day
And though I may not see him
Sense his presence by my side
I know that he is always there
Ever to be my guide. |
