There will be a day...

I am losing heart. Trying not to, but I am. I need to hold on to Him when things are hard. I need to hold on to Him even though I don't understand why He is allowing me to experience such intense pain in my head. I don't understand it. He loves me so much - I know that. But do I trust Him enough that I still know that He loves me when He allows the pain to come?


I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end,
His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew

But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place,
will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always

I know the journey seems so long
You feel you’re walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you’ve walked out all alone
Troubled soul don’t lose your heart
Cause joy and peace He brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting

I can’t wait until that day where the very One
I’ve lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery
this is why, this is why I sing


Abba, I don't understand. Help me to. Help me to hold on to you when I need you the most. Give me strength so that I can walk on firm ground and still be joyful and shine for you despite the pain you allow. Father, give me the strength to carry on. Help me to press on because of the gift you have given me... the gift of free love. Abba, I long for the day when there will be no more tears - the day I will see you face to face. Until then, Father, encourage my heart.
