Just Let Me Cry

Day 233

Today, I'm just grateful that the Lord has given me the ability to cry when I need to, to alleviate pain and stress and all such things that build up within me.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.
We’re not just tossed by the wind,
or left in the hands of fate.
But sometimes life sends a storm that’s unexpected.
And we’re forced to face our deepest pain.

When I feel the heartache begin to pull me under,
I dig my heels in deep
and I fight to keep my ground.
Still at times the hurt inside grows stronger
And there’s nothing I can do but let out.

Just let me cry.
I know it’s hard to see
But the pain I feel isn’t going away today.
So just let me cry
Till every tear has fallen.
Don’t ask when
and don’t ask why.
Just let me cry.

When I agreed that God could put this heart inside me.
I understood that there would be a chance that it would break.
But I know He knows exactly how I’m feeling
And I know in time He’ll take the pain away.

But for now
Just let me cry.
I know it’s hard to see
But the pain I feel isn’t going away today.
Just let me cry
Till every tear has fallen.
Don’t ask when
and don’t ask why.
Just let me cry.

I have felt joy,
the kind that makes my heart want to sing.
So my tears are not a surrender,
I’ll feel that way again.
But for now,
For this moment..
.

Just let me cry.
I know it’s hard to see
But the pain I feel
Isn’t going away today.
Just let me cry
Till every tear has fallen.
Don’t ask when
and don’t ask why.
Just let me cry

Today's Smile: My ward choir director's smile for my participation in the choir. He has a nice smile, too. :-)

Today's Something New: I had more of a culmination of a realization/remembrance today. I find myself ever observant of the inside of the Salt Lake temple. The woodwork. The murals. The paintings. Everything. There is always something to look at in every room I enter. As I was looking around in a sealing room the other day, a little thought triggered in the back of my mind that there was more greatness to what I was seeing. That it was exquisite work--the artisans' best. But that they did it quickly. This thought was confirmed when I watched "Mountain of the Lord" this evening. They did all of that in one year. Amazing!
