The Strange Blessing of Bearing by Steve_Bell published on 2020-12-13T15:01:55Z THE STRANGE BLESSING OF BEARING music and lyrics by Steve Bell The peace of God is with the patient ones Bearing up under affliction For the joy that Love has promised us Though waves of agony wash over us May we know What mothers know The strange blessing of bearing Quietude becomes the lover Oriented towards the other Sufferings gladly enduring For the sake of another’s flourishing May we know What martyrs know The beautiful blessing of bearing God, we pray that in the days to come Ever keep before our longing The mystery of your bleeding son Through the night into the dawning Love enwombed in God’s creation Fortifies the soul’s elation Hearts on fire to love attending Tribulations not withstanding May we know What Jesus knows The glorious blessing of bearing Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Don W Palm i love the vocal run there 2020-12-13T15:38:37Z
