Never Alone

In this world there is danger,  
there is trouble,
there is darkness galore.
 
In this world there is comfort,
there is freedom,
there is light to explore.
 
In this world there is conflict,
there's enigma,
love mingles with pain...
 
but love tastes more ambrosial -
all the sweeter,  
when drenched in the rain...
 
in the drift down the flowage,  
riding despair,  
becoming aware...
 
that the air up on top  
is fit to breathe,  
meant to be shared.
 
In this world we may suffer,  
and fall down,  
we may cry and we may groan...
 
but we can feel hands
lift our burdens,  
we're held up, never alone.
 
We reach out  
and connect in comfort  
revealing we've found a touchstone...
 
a wellspring of compassion  
and empathy,  
a solace in each other's care.
 
As we beg and we barter  
with God,  
we find He has answered our prayer.
 
His truth is revealed  
in compassion,  
in showers of comfort and hope...
 
a hope  
that comes from endurance,
when we know that we don't walk alone.
 
 
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:3-4‬ ‭NLT‬‬
