Soms is het onbegrijpelijk hoeveel een mens kan lijden.
Bijna niet om aan te zien. Opnieuw en opnieuw kan ik verwonderd blijven staan
en denken: “hoe kan dat toch? Waarom?”.
Eén van de mooie dingen die mij dan troosten zijn de wijze
woorden van onze geleerden: “God is met ons in onze lijden. Hij huilt met ons
mee.”
Daarin geloof ik echt en dat geeft me de moed. Ik geloof met
heel mijn hart en ziel dat God werkelijk in al onze lijden meeleeft. Wij
begrijpen onze pijn en lijden niet, maar hij weet er de redenen voor. En hij huilt met ons mee,
hij lijdt met ons mee…
Ik heb een heel mooi lied gevonden dat nu net dit uitdrukt:
Father Don't Cry
Composition and Lyrics by
Avraham Fried
This Way or That Way / Bein Kach 2006
I will never forget
the night I saw my father cry
I was frightened and alone
and his tears were burning in my eyes
deep in my soul
I held him tight
and tried to ease the pain
Father in heaven
it's no secret at all
when You think of Your children
how far they are from home
two tender tears fall from Your eyes
and Your cries shake the world
I cannot bear to see You this way
Father don't cry
I love You too much to see You in pain
and only You Who created tears
can wipe them away forever
so bring on the day
when there'll be only joy
You and I will smile
bring on the day
when there'll be be no more tears
we'll never cry again
I know it's tears of love
but still it hurts me just the same
You have always held my hand
and now I want to hold Yours too
and be there for You
don't You agree
it's time to send the tears away
Father in heaven
there's no reason at all
Your precious children
still are so far from home
we've done all we can
now it's in Your hands
let it end, oh, let it end,
the whole world is waiting for You
Father don't cry
I love You too much to see You in pain
and only You who created tears
can wipe them away forever
so bring on the day
when there'll be only joy
You and I will smile
bring on the day
when there'll be be no more tears
we'll never cry again
