Suffering with them – v5


True empathy for our neighbor
even our enemy, the stranger
standing in their shoes
as if we were suffering

Going through their pain
suffering with our neighbors
empathy for them
that we would offer aid

Carrying our brothers
healing our sister’s ache
offering loving kindness
in our Savior’s name
