Through Suffering (Song and Film Clip)

When you say, that you're done,
And you cannot carry on.
When you've lost all your will to fight.

When breathless, you run,
A tangled life undone.
And sunny days are as blackest night.

When you scar your own face
In the hopes that your disgrace,
Will be hid by your marred skin-mask.

And you're wretched and poor,
And you've locked fast every door,
To everyone whom you've loved, days past.

Cast your cares upon the Lord;
He's the one who can afford.
Passage up from guilt to peace.
Onward into righteousness.

Yes, there will be suffering
From without and from within.
Yet, not worthy of compare
Is it to the joy we'll bear.

When the years tick by fast,
Reminded of ghosts past.
In the mirror, a face creased, hair all grey.

Just look up, see Christ there,
Bearing up your tears.
Not long now till he wipes them away.
