 Mourning Into Gladness

I will turn their mourning into gladness;
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
I will satisfy the priests with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,"
declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 31:12-14 NIV

 
Mourning Into Gladness
 
Lord, how can You turn
Mourning Into Gladness?
My heart's broken in millions of pieces,
My soul's consumed with sadness,
 
Did I not love him with all of my heart?
Did I not share with him my very being?
Did I not offer myself completely to him?
Is there something that I am not seeing?
 
I'm searching for the bounty of comfort
That only Your Embrace can provide,
Weeping lasts for a night, oh, such sorrow,
Makes me want to run away and hide.
 
Fill me, Precious Savior, with your bounty,
Infuse me with Your Perfect Joy,
Let fond memories replace the sorrow
As I give back to You,
my Brave Soldier Boy.............
