God, does it hurt

To see children without mothers,

Brothers fighting brothers?

God does it hurt

To see people shun

The precious gift you gave

Of your only son

God does it hurt

Your heart when

People you love

Wallow in sin?

God does it hurt

When your children fight

And hurt one another,

Just to be right?

God does it hurt

I'm sure that it does

But even still

You pour out your love.

God it sure hurts

When people I know

Criticize and mock me

For loving you so.

God it sure hurts

Every day that I go on

Here on this earth

When heaven is where I belong

God it sure hurts

All through this fire

Though I know your heat

Will lift me higher.

God it sure hurts

What can I do?

Embrace me in your arms O Lord

And my spirit renew.
