WHEN SORROW COMES
BY: CHARLES G. TURNER, SR
WHEN SORROW COMES TO YOUR HOME
YOU ARE NEVER ALONE
GOD GUIDES US THROUGH THE TIMES OF GOODNESS,
HAPPINESS, TOILS AND STRIFES
BUT WHEN SORROW COMES AND WE ARE IN DESPAIR
IT IS THROUGH HIS GRACE AND MERCY
THAT JESUS LETS US KNOW HE IS THERE
WHEN WE ARE IN TIMES OF SORROW
OR IN THE MOMENTS OF SICKNESS, PAIN, AND NO HOPE FOR TOMORROW
HE IS WITH US EVERY SECOND, MINUTE, AND HOUR
JUST REMEMBER WHEN SORROW COMES TO YOUR HOME
WITH JESUS IN YOUR HEART, MIND, BODY AND SOUL
YOU ARE NEVER ALONE
YOUR CLASSMATE AND FAMILY
