He will wipe every tear from their eyes,
And there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.
All these things are gone forever
(Revelation 21:4; NLT).
1. Father God,
Forget our sins –
Sorrow ends
When love begins.
2. Help us to forgive
Each foe –
Hatred ends
When love can flow.
3. Wipe away
Our grief and fear –
Heartbreak ends
When love draws near.
4. Heal our sickness,
Mend our lives –
Sadness ends
When love arrives.
5. Purge the craving
Of our wills –
Anguish ends
When love rebuilds.
6. End our wars
And make us sane –
Evil ends
When you, Lord, reign.
