THE HEALING WILL TAKE TIME
The church’s roof lets in the rain.
And paint continues peeling.
But harsher problems lie within-
Deep wounds in need of healing.
Deep wounds that cause the heart to bleed,
Bring pain for all to feel.
Wounds that we may with care attend,
But only God can heal.
We can wipe clean the surface wounds
With love and tender care,
But for those wounds that pierce the heart
We must turn to God in prayer.
With the loving hand of God to guide
Our most sincere endeavor
In time the wounds will all be healed,
Though their scars remain forever.
But God helps those who help themselves.
We will ever sense this test,
And though pain in each heart is felt
By God’s Grace we are blessed.
