John 16:20

As my heart was struggling hardcore again couple nights ago, a good friend quoted John 16:20. "Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy." Perhaps taken out of context, its true. My heart is aching... its been aching to be gone from this world. I've had enough.

I sat down in front of the John 16:20 passage ("Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.") about 20 minutes ago, and wrote some words to a melody. I realized that Satan is laughing at us all. He is having his way in this world - and I think it's obvious. I cried out to God, to help me get through today, as its already been harder than I can express. I know that without hearing the melody, it may just be words. But take it for what its worth. I hope it brings some comfort to you today.

Truly Truly I say to you,That one day, your tears will be gone.
Truly Truly I say to you,You'll be dancing for joy, forever

Cause I am your God,and I give you your joy.
And all trials that come, Make you stronger, stronger.
Cause I am your God, and I know what you need.
Let me fill up your heart, forever, forever,forever, ever.

Countless times I've grown weak and failed,
I know I can't get by without You.
Times get hard and I try no more,
Giving up is my hardest break.

But you are my God, and You'll give me my joy
All trials that come make me stronger, stronger
Cause You are my God and You know what I need
Please fill up my heart, forever, forever, forever, ever.
