Words of Comfort for the Suffering

In a fallen world

Many ills afflict

'Robbing us of worth'....

A lie we must reject

For... God's love is perfect!

Hold on, hope on

Believe in the day

Where joy will dawn

And...gloom will fall away

And all will be okay!

May one spark of hope

Flicker all about

And brighten your home

Ridding you of doubt

A lit seed can sprout!

Like the ancient palm seed

That was dormant two-thousand years

A trigger is what you need

That the dark thoughts, in Christ's light, clears

That life and hope in you appears
