Who is the answer?

Hebrews 13:5 

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He, Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 

 Who is the answer?

 

Where do you turn to cry? Where is the place of comfort?

Where do I stand in falling towards constant sorrow?

A little more and I die in my inner feeling of sorts

As slowly my strength is calling not to believe in tomorrow

 

Why is there much pain in seeing others suffer?

Why does brightness of life appear like a shadow?

Why are emotions again destroying every buffer

which protect my heart from strife and the things I know?

 

Who gathers the great treasure of tears of helplessness?

Who brings these to His lips to taste the soft confusion?

Who loves without measure and absorbs my loneliness?

Who is the Life who gives deliverance from delusion?

 

Who is the Love Who leads me to the beginning at the end?

Who is the One Who carries when all my strength is gone?

Who is the One Who feeds without any pretense?

Who does never tarry when my hope is down to none?

 

Who is my only promise and never falls short?

Who swallowed my death so that I may live?

Who provides the solace and gave a living sword?

To clean up the aftermath of my sin as He forgives?

 

Jesus is the answer … Jesus did it all

Jesus my fulfillment … Jesus my redemption

He removed cancer that sin, after all,

worked to my detriment up to the crucifixion
