Rest When You Are Weary

Especially when I feel the pain of a loved one passing,

Or fear my own.

I praise you for your promised home,

Where I will spend eternity with you,

And those I love.

Crushed beyond repair.

Turn first to you in my hurts,

Linger in the warmth of your presence.

For in you I know life will move forward,

The hurts, though not forgotten, will be soothed,

And the love you give will heal.
