Story behind the song

Bear one another's burdens ...	Weep with those that weep...
Weeping may last for the night but joy comes in the morning ...	 They were concepts that I had learned through hard experience. Now the drama unfolding before me was all so painfully familiar. A spouse diagnosed with cancer – and a less-than-hopeful prognosis. But what could I say or do to spare them the sorrow of my own experience? Certainly I could and would pray, but the enemy of my soul challenged – that wasn't totally successful for you was it? In the end I found myself resolving, with God's help, to maintain an availability for both of them during their time of testing. To share with them from my experience that all things do work together for good to those that love Him.

Lyrics

Now you tell me that the pain you feel is more than you can bear
If you tried to tell someone about it they would never care
And it hurts to watch you struggle knowing all that you've been through
So I promise that I'll listen – its the least that I can do

	
(But)	If I told you how He touched me when the pain was all I knew
	 Would it help you to believe that He could do the same for you
	If I took your hand and led you to the One who set me free
	Could you hold on to the promise of His perfect liberty

Now I won't begin to tell you that I know just how you feel
Though your circumstance is similar and the pain is just as real
But I promise you can call me when there's no where else to turn
So that we can stand together while there's still so much to learn

	And I'll tell you how He touched me when the pain was all I knew
	It may help you to believe that He can do the same for you
	Let me take your hand and lead you to the One who set me free
	You can hold on to the promise of His perfect liberty 

Though tonight is spent in weeping – wondering how you'll carry on
You can rest assured that joy is coming with tomorrow's dawn
You'll be able then to comfort others in their time of need
In compassion - hard experience will direct your every deed		
	
	You can tell them how He touched you when the pain was all you knew
	It may help them to believe they can receive the same as you
	You can take their hand and lead them to the One who set you free
	So they'll hold on to the promise of His perfect liberty 

>	SoI'll tell you how He touched me when the pain was all I knew
	It may help you to believe that He can do the same for you
	And I'll take your hand and lead you to the One who set me free
	While you  hold on to the promise of His perfect liberty
