There are times in everyone’s life when things seem just too hard. Any number of things, from disappointments to frustrations, work, study or family pressures, broken or dysfunctional relationships, sickness and death can lead us to despair and a sense of hopelessness. But Jesus understands. As a man living on Earth he suffered it all, especially in the days leading up to His crucifixion. His heart goes out to every one of us and He leaves us with the ultimate and eternal words of comfort.
John 14:1-3, John 14:16, 2 Cor 4:16-18, John 14:6, Rom 8: 18, 28, 31, 38-39, 2 Cor 5:1.
When you feel like your world has let you down,
When you feel there’s no love to be found,
When you feel like all you have is emptiness,
Remember the words that Jesus said.
I have gone to prepare a place for you.
My Spirit is your comfort and your guide.
My love will surround you through your days and nights.
Forever I will stay by your side.
When you feel like your world is falling down,
when you feel like your faith is shaky ground.
When it seems like there’s nothing left that you can do,
remember the words he said to you.
I have gone to prepare a place for you,
a place of perfect peace and harmony.
I am the Way and the Truth and the Life:
Come to the Father through me.
I have gone to prepare a place for you.
Trust in God and trust in me.
One day I’ll return and hold you at my side.
Trust in me and you’ll be free.
Trust in me and you’ll be free.
Trust in me and you’ll be free.
