there is goodness

There is goodness in this
life, pain, suffering,
having to walk through a thicket of grief,
grieving my father, my daddy, and the hope I had for his life,
gone, gone, gone

and there is good here?!

there is,
that's the promise


oh Your promises, Jesus
to restore, to heal, to perfect

that is the goodness in this
life, pain, suffering

because You are here, here, here
