Comfort Song

This is a song I wrote in the 1990's. I still sing it when I am by myself for different people in our church. I sang it for Leah when she lost Dave. I sang it for Marva when she lost Marsha. And today, I sing it for my dear friend, S.Natalie, who is singing it in her soul. Like I said, I sing it alone. They have never heard it. But the Holy Spirit has. There are three parts to this song. There is an intercessor, a soul in trouble, and God. You'll know who's who.

Holy Spirit, Come

Comfort those who mourn in Zion
Comfort those who weep alone
Holy Spirit, pour your oil
Holy Spirit, come.

I cry out to you for help
My soul is bowed in sorrow
Will I ever see your face again?
Will there be some hope tomorrow?

Comfort those who mourn in Zion
Comfort those who weep alone
Holy Spirit pour your oil
Holy Spirit, come

I will comfort those who mourn o'er their sin
I will heal the broken-hearted
I will defend and protect what is precious to you
I will pour my oil in Zion.

Will you be my hiding place
in the midst of the raging storm?
Will you be my guiding light?
There is darkness all around.

Comfort those who mourn in Zion
Comfort those who weep alone
Holy Spirit, pour your oil
Holy Spirit, come

I will come to you in the darkest of nights
I will come whenever you call
I have loved you my child with an unfailing love
I will comfort you in Zion.

Comfort those who mourn in Zion...
