Behind the sound of her laughter
is the deafening pain inside.
They hear her laugh,
but only Him hears her cry.
Deep within she can only weep,
though they see her smile.
.
There is hope - she knows it well,
but pain is swallowing her - who can tell?
How long will she suffer -
how long will it end?
She knows there is hope,
but pain's pushing her to forget.
.
"Lord, I want to know how it's like
to fully, truly hope in You.
Tell me, fully, truly, what it's like,
to completely trust You - I can't hide
I can no longer bear the pain,
it's like every second there's a heavy rain."
.
Tears keep falling - filling the empty well.
The painful storm covering like a shell.
No one can see nor hear her pain,
though it shouts time and again.
Her side is breaking, her eyes are aching,
she can only sit while silently waiting.

God is my only Hope
Since God is eternal
My Hope will never die.
"Lord, I can't do this anymore.
I'm so tired and so weak.
Give me more grace to endure.
Give me more grace to obey.
Father, it's so long I am like this -
but I believe in You there's no delay.
.
In You Hope is real,
faith is never wasted.
In this world there is sorrow,
but Your love fades it away.
In You all weathers are the same -
they have beauty in every way.
.
Lord, You know I am hurting,
but the more Your love is overwhelming
for I know You are with me even now,
I cannot deny it somehow,
for You are so real - I know You are!
For even in the dark I can see Your Star.
.
You alone know and You alone can see
that in all these sufferings I still desire Thee.
Carry me still as You allow me to learn
to fully hope in You and completely trust you,
even while I'm in the bluest of the blue.
And receive my spirit when I am through."
.
The tears fall from her dry eyes.
She honestly cannot deny
that her Father loves her so
and sees and hears her cry.
And in the midst of all the storming,
her heart keeps praying. . . believing.
