The Pain Is So Great
by Barbara Philbrook

The pain is so great you think it will never cease.
You wonder if the viselike grip will ever release.

The sorrow is smothering you, making it hard to breath.
You know this suffering nothing can relieve.

The future looks unbearable, so sad and grim.
You just know that you will never be happy again.

I understand and I commiserate with you,
but there is one thing that can help, here's what to do.

We have a risen Savior who wants to help you.
He knows your suffering and what you've been through.

He offers you strength to go through it all,
and the way to receive it is give Him a call.

Call on His name and ask for His strength to sustain you.
You'll be amazed at what He will do.

He's waiting and willing to bear it with you.
That's what the Bible tells us, so we know it's true.

The pain is so great but He is willing to share it with you,
and calling out His name is what you do.
