Worship in darkness,
And worship in pain;
Worship in loneliness;
Worship in grief.
Worship in anguish,
And worship in fear;
Worship in sorrow –
For Jesus is here.
❤️
Worship in hunger,
And worship in thirst;
Worship in suffering;
Worship in dread.
Worship in sickness,
And worship in loss;
Worship in dying –
With Christ, on the cross.
