When we lose someone we love
The loss seems too great to bear
God sends us friends to confort us
To show us that he cares.
But in the dark hours of the night
When there's nobody else around
When we feel the saddest and loneliest
It's there God's love can be found.
It's like a soothing, healing, balm
To soothe our broken hearts
The healing oil poured over us
That flows into every part.
We can rest secure in God's love
And know He's by our side
He holds us when we feel as though
A part of us has died.
We can know that Godwill listen
When we just want to talk
And when we feel we need to cry
We can share it with the Lord.
For He is always waiting there
Ready with arms open wide
As we pour out the hut within
He pours His live inside.
Out father about loves us so much
And will never leave us alone
He will not forsake us in out need
To face this on our own.
He comforts us and Strengthens us
And rubs us with his balm
And as the dawn breaks through the night
We'll Awake in His Loving Arms.
