Amidst a bitter loss
What brings the Tender through
The comfort of the Cross
And Resurrection too
When the gathering is gone
Silent raging feelings, feels alone
Now heaven is plus one
Remember God still sits enthroned
When the heart of the Tender is weak
Unable to stand at all
Lay still tender one
Omnipotence is at your call
When the weight is too heavy
The pain unbearably sharp
Gentle Jesus is nearer
He pulls you to his heart
There is no greater Father
No one who knows so well
The pain felt by the Tender
Nor the balm to make him well
(c.a.f. 11.20.2010)
