Oh, My Friend
Oh, My Friend

I see
You are in pain, friend
The loss 
of a mother
It never ends, friend
And these 
old struggles
they never mend, friend
Till Jesus
begins within, friend

He sees
You are in pain. Friend
Your child’s loss
was not in vain, friend
Your wounds
and every stain, friend
are now
in Love entrained, friend

We see
the hand of God in
all things unfolding
both death and life, friend
In wounds and healing
In life now that cannot end
Let’s rise, my brother
Who God called to be my friend
