To One in Sorrow – Grace Noll Crowell

Let me come in where you are weeping, friend, 

And let me take your hand. 

I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, 

Can understand. 

Let me come in -- I would be very still 

Beside you in your grief; 

I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend, 

Tears can bring relief. 

Let me come in -- I would only breathe a prayer, 

And hold your hand, 

For I have known a sorrow such as yours, 

And understand.
