Be Gentle With Grief (w/ rain)

from A Pocketful of Smooth Stones by Malcolm Gordon

/

about

Based on the George MacDonald poem, 'Walking with Grief.'

lyrics

Do not rush as you walk with grief
For it does not help the journey
Walking slow, take your time
Do not hurry my friend
As you walk with grief

Be not disturbed by the memories that come unbidden
Swiftly forgive them, letting Christ speak for you
Unspoken words, unwoven threads
Will be resolved in him
Be not disturbed, be not disturbed

Oh be gentle with the one who walks with grief
If it is you, be gentle with yourself.
Swiftly forgive, taking it slow
Take your time
Take time to be gentle as you walk with grief
