Shared Trouble


Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble.
Philippians 4:14

It’s easy to attend a party
to share joy and celebration
but there’s more meaning by far
to join another’s tribulation

Some may walk away ashamed
unsure as how to share in pain
Others come near in the heartache
brothers still in pouring rain

When life is broken and lamented
and hearts are in their greatest need
that’s when true companionship is found
that’s when a friend is a friend indeed

What is kindness if all is happy?
There must be need as kindness is shown
and sacrifices with love beside us
are how true kindness through trouble is known

Look for hard times and hard lives
be a friend when trouble falls
support and comfort in the bad times
that’s when true fellowship really calls

Make a difference with your kindness
share in troubles, grief, and pain
love like Jesus in their sorrow
finding grace, hope, and love again
