The Comforter by Crystal Beveridge

When your soul is so heavy and burdened with doubts
When your candle that’s burned bright looks set to go out
When you’re wondering whether to finish the race
Remember that God has promised His Grace

The tears that you shed when no one can see
The ache in your heart that no one can know
The feeling of longing, the emptiness of loss
Are all known to the One, who understands from the cross

He understands when there are questions and even some doubts
And every teardrop you shed he captures and counts
His arms are wide open as a father to His child
And He’s waiting to comfort when your heart feels wild

So even when you feel that there is no one who shares
The feelings of darkness, of loss and despair
The comforter comes like a sun in the night
And wraps you in love and renews your fight

The Father of Heaven knows your every hair
And is loving you even when you feel he’s not there
The sweet Holy Spirit will bring comfort and strength
As you lean on His arms of immeasurable length.
