God's Own Pain

By Nusrat Jabeen

In the depths of night, when all is still And the world is wrapped in a silent chill There is a pain that throbs and aches In the heart of God, that never breaks For every soul that suffers here For every tear that falls in fear God feels the weight of every pain And carries it with Him, again and again He sees the brokenness in every heart The shattered dreams that tear apart He hears the cries that go unheard The silent screams that go unobserved

He knows the struggles that we face The battles fought in every place He sees the hurt that we endure The wounds that never seem to cure And in the midst of all this pain God holds us close, again and again He whispers words of love and peace And offers comfort that will never cease For in His own pain, He understands The suffering of every woman and man And though our world may seem so dark God's light shines bright, a constant spark So let us turn our hearts to Him And let His love and grace pour in For in His arms we find release From all our pain, and all our grief.
