When grief rushes in like a raging river
When grief whispers into my aching soul
When grief invades like the chill of winter
When grief barges in and takes a hold…
I will run
I will run to the sanctuary
I will come
To the One who calls to the weary
I will run
I will come to the sanctuary
I will fall at the feet
Of the One who loves me.
I will run
I will come
I will breathe
When grief rushes in and my heart starts racing
When grief settles in and takes control
When grief stirs my mind and my spirit
I will hold on, be still and know
I will run
I will run to the sanctuary
I will come
To the One who calls to the weary
I will run
I will come to the sanctuary
I will fall at the feet
Of the One who loves me.
I will run
I will come
I will breathe
When grief comes again and my fight has left me
When numbness begins to dull my world
When grief comes again in a wave of anger
And fuels a fear that takes a hold
I will think on what I know and I will run…
(Bridge)
And when those tears fall like rain
When the dam just gives way
I will come to You and say
Let it rain, (Let your mercy rain)
When the winds start to blow
May your Spirit refresh my soul
Help me be still and know
Your mercy reigns
(through this rain)
When grief rushes in like a raging river
Lord let Your wind refresh my soul
Your Spirit is Life, Lord renew me
Fill me with Your great winds of Hope…
As I run
As I come to Your Sanctuary
Lord I come
And I know that you are with me
When grief rushes in
Your hope always wins
This I know.
For a dear friend facing that one year mark of a deep, deep loss. May the love of Christ reach deeper still. Love, hugs, prayers and gratitude for being in this journey together.
