I’m Sorry

I’m Sorry

For hurt

For lies

For suffering

For abuse

For illness 

For loss

For disappointment

For poverty

For homelessness

For frustration

For loneliness 

For war

For violence

For sadness

For failure

I’m sorry that in the midst of life 

Difficult or unexpected things occur

I’m sorry I’m not there to hug you

And share tears and grief

I’m sorry I can’t take it for you

And hope I have never added to it

My heart and hope stand fast with you

As I lay it all down at the throne

I don’t know why hard things happen

I can’t explain why God allows it

But I know He has experienced it

At the horrible death of His Son

That hope rose with a dark sky

A torn vail and an empty tomb

Hope lives in the resurrected Jesus

Gloried, Ascended, Reigning

He knows all your suffering 

He collects every single tear

But one day He’ll Call you home 

And There you will be sorry no more
