God remembers pain

/ 6 April 2009

We sang this hymn in liturgy yesterday, and the melody has been haunting me since. I think it’s maybe my prayer this Holy Week? Anyway, I can find no video or audio version of it accessible online, but here at least are the words:

God Remembers Pain
Text Colossians 3:3-4, Brian Wren
Music by Marty Haugen

God remembers pain,
Nail by nail,
Thorn by thorn,
Hunger thirst and muscles torn.
Time may dull our griefs
And heal our lesser wounds,
But in eternal Love
Yesterday is now,
And pain is in the heart of God.

God remembers joy:
Touch of love,
Taste of food,
All our senses know is good.
Love and life flow by
And precious days are gone
But in eternal Love
Ev’ry day is now,
And joy is in the heart of God.

God remembers us:
All we were,
All we are,
Lives within our Lover’s care.
Time may dull our minds
And death will take us all,
But in eternal Love
Ev’ry life is now:
Our life is hid with Christ in God. </blockquote>
