seeing through our sadness – v2

more than through our joy

our moments of happiness

too easy let go of maybe

holding onto sorrow

to the lessons we learn

we hold onto, we remember,

our challenges somehow

seeing through our sadness

a new truth, reality

grist for the mill, hunger

we grow, we change,

sight in new struggle

growing new eyes

vision from experience

the best teacher

able to see further

a deeper understanding

seeing through our sadness

the truth of God, His power

the grace of our Savior, His sacrifice
