The world just keeps on moving, while my earth just stood still
Laughing, talking, planning, into their things they spill
Grieve with me I cry out … but no one lends an ear
Weep with me a moment … but no one sheds one tear
The sky above is shining, below a world embarks
But I sit stunned and silent, for my world just went dark
Into my lonely corner a man of sorrows came
He pulled a chair beside me and offered me His pain
He took my hand in His hand, I felt a jagged scar
His face was filled with pity, not left by life unmarred
Lord I cried, You know me! This pain You felt before
Your shoulder I can lean on, alone I am no more
And now I walk beside Him, He is my bosom friend
I wait with Him for sunrise, when sorrows will all end
The dark cannot oppress me, no matter now how black
I snuggle closer to Him, He hugs me closer back
And in my ear He whispers, “Joy is coming fast!”
I smile and keep on moving toward morn where light will last.
