A terrified child hides under the bed
Trying to escape the shame
His father does things he doesn't understand
The cycle repeated again
And he trembles in fear and silently prays
Lord, please let it end
Lost in the torment and the shame
In his life darkness descends

* For all those who've lost their hope
  Who suffer in silence each day
  Torment and fear their only friends
  As life slowly ebbs away
  No-one could ever truly know
  The pain that you've been through
  Except for Jesus, for He was a man
  And He suffered too

A young lady's life destroyed in one day
Through the choices of one man
Her self and her joy replaced by fear
That no-one can understand
And daily she struggles, desperate and alone
No-one knows her pain
She feels forever trapped by the fear
That envelops her time and again

- As the lashes tore pieces of flesh from His body
  As the nails pierced His hands
  And the blood poured down from that cross, for you
  I know
  Jesus understands.

Hopefuly, the hurting and hopeless will read this tender offering you so kindly share. Focusing on Jesus'suffering, He willingly endured for our sake, gives hope to all.

Yes, Sylvia...He loves and knew all
did not turn away from his destiny
so that all may be forgiven.

Well done.
