In your time of sorrow
Know that God is there
He will hold you in His arms
And wipe away your tears
He understands your pain
He feels the grief you feel
Just give to Him your broken heart
For He in time will heal.

God is ever near to those
Who have a broken heart
Through the loss of someone dear
That tears your world apart
It seems so overwhelming
The grief too much to bear
But know that God is with you
He loves you and He cares.
