When My Heart is Sad

When My Heart is Sad ~
(I wrote the following poem at a very sad time in my life ~ Audrey Broggi)

When my heart is sad, when my pain is great
When so much seems bad, that my tears won’t wait.

When my eyes fill with sadness; reflecting my heart
When my world fills with madness, when I see a part.

He protects me from much, I don’t understand
The depth of His love, the grace from His hand.

His comfort, so deep; As deep as His Word
Giving me sleep since I know He has heard

The God of all grace stands ready to share
The tears on my face so I won’t despair

He gives to the poor; the needy He hears
His Word is so sure; He calms all my fears

This life and its pain reminds me to trust
The One Who remains; Oh, how I must

He suffered much more than I’ll ever know
He did it for me; Oh I love Him so.

His cup, it was bitter, so filled with my sin
And mine is so light; yet I’m crushed from within.

But He feels all my pain, He bled just for me;
He holds me so close; He wants me to see

That He paid for my sin, He settled my debt
When He died on my cross; drenched in my sweat.

His death brought me hope; He is my King,

He rose from the tomb; this makes my heart sing.
Though pain in this life makes my heart sad
My Savior is here and makes my heart glad.
And one day He’ll come and wipe all my tears
Maybe tomorrow, maybe some years.

When my heart is sad, when my pain is great
I’ll give Him my heart and on Him I’ll wait.
