The heartbeat of life
Full of lows & highs
Beautiful, painful, worthwhile
The pain makes you stronger
There is beauty
Found in both
Joy & suffering
They are gifts
Carving in us
Eternal glory
Beyond comparison
One with Jesus
We walk not alone
Count it as joy
When you suffer
For the Son of God
Underwent it all for us
Let’s carry our cross
& keep going
Until the last beat.
