PATH OF SORROW

line
I know that somehow life must still go on,
But I cannot get by this empty place.
The vacant chair, the precious smile that is not there
I long in vain once more to see that face.

Oh, if I could just hear that voice once more!
Bleak silence responds; the sweet voice is still.
Now as I cry, I cannot help but wonder why.
How can this heartache fit my Father's will?

I don't see how I can get through this time.
Can there be strength to survive such a loss?
I cannot face this path without my Savior's grace
To bear the weight of grief's most heavy cross.

Yet, by my Master's strength I will go on;
With Him, I will tread this path of sorrow.
I can walk without fear, for my Jesus is near
To comfort me with hope for tomorrow.
