Context: A few weeks ago, my 17 year old friend died. As you can or can't imagine, I was beyond heartbroken. This is about how I had to cling to God when all else failed; it is about God's infinite love and compassion! How even in the depths of darkness he is there-He is always there!!
MY FRIEND
My friend became a memory,
Yesterday round eight.
And my friend that's now a memory
Died just a little too late,
To hear me tell her all about
The love of God my King.
And my heart feels it will break in two
Under grief's relentless weight.
My heart is hurting, yet I know
I can find fullness in my King
In the Holy One who died for me.
What more could I ever need?
My friend became a memory,
And I cannot understand
That my friend that's now a memory,
Is gone "into [a silent land".
Yet when we are broken, this I know
We can soar as eagles flying.
Above the clouds into Son's embrace,
Our Saviour joins us in our crying.
It's lovely to get reviews but pleeeease!! no flames!! I don't mind criticism but nothing harsh…I really didn't write this as an exercise in grammar etc, so if there are mistakes, please don't hate me too much:)
much love Cat xxx
