The Promise 
author unknown 


There's a promise in our sorrow 

and a blessing when we sigh. 

There's a light beyond the shadows 

and a cleansing when we cry 




So when we are discouraged, 

and face tremendous grief; 

it is during those times of trouble, 

that the heavens send relief. 




With our heart in tune with Allah 

our source of joy and peace, 

be mindful of His promise, 

that all suffering He would cease 




He hears our cries of sadness 

He's felt our every pain, 

He's listens to our sighness 

All glory to His name 




Just yaqeen with HIS promise 

As He whispers to be still, 

for there is joy and comfort 

Beyond the unexpected veil 




So if the sky should darken 

and if the earth should quake 

remember life has struggles 

On the journey that we take 




The aftermath of sorrow 

is beauty and pure light, 

if we can fight the battle 

and pray with soul and might. 




He sent us rainbow colors 

to follow cleansing rain, 

He showed us there are miracles 

that come with all the pain. 




Seek forbearance in the hardships, 

or when we fear or roam. 

Cast your burdens on the Savior, 

and He'll come and take us home. 




For He is our great Redeemer 

our only true best friend, 

He promised he would never leave 

He'll guide us to the end
