For a Loved-One

God hears your cries, beloved
Protection surrounds you now
Suffering is only for a season
God promises: pain can turn to good

Cling to God's Word, Dear One
For in it there is truth
Life's mysteries can be found
In the pages of that book

I can only offer you prayers
Even though you don't know it
I'm thanking God for your salvation
For your pain to be used for good

You are just a kid in a grown up world
Your childhood was not your fault
We live in a fallen world, you see
Even those we love can destroy us

Jesus was with you during those times
Close your eyes and search for Him
He's with you now in a crowded cell
Draw near to Him and bask in love

Lean not on your own understanding
Wisdom is yours for the asking
Guard yourself with the armour of righteousness
Draw your sword of salvation

God says: This is the way to be free...
