The pain won’t last

 from “On This Day” (C) 2005 Corey Stokes

What is the cause of your grief dear brother

Is it the love not received from a father but a mother

Is it the pain of mistakes which were made in the past

Take it is easy my loved sibling the pain won’t last

Don’t fret my friend, vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord

The word of God will cut like a double edged sword

Don’t fret my brother just put your cares on me

Just remember a child of God, first you will always be

Don’t be afraid to cry because even Jesus wept

Don’t even worry about those that stabbed you in the back while you slept

Because you have a friend and you also have a brother

But always remember your heavenly Father watches you more than any other

So even when I can’t be around and you are feeling more than down

There is someone who can help you, so lift your eyes off the ground

Don’t fret my beloved brother forget about the past

Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord, this pain won’t last
