COMFORTED BY YOUR FAITH
There are many ways we can find consolation;
We can seek the Lord who is full of compassion.
Prayer, night and day, will bring some release;
Distress need not become a mental disease.
We can draw encouragement when we keep in touch;
There are ways and means to say that we care much.
A word or two, well-spoken and with good intention;
That can lift the heart and release tight tension.
Being human, we can draw comfort from stories;
These can be in the form of true testimonies.
The knowledge that sufferers remain strong;
This brings to the heart a courageous song.
We all need a word of consolation now and then;
Let us care for people as consistently as we can.
This is how we can maintain a spirit that is joyful;
May the Lord help us find a faith that is meaningful!
