This Too Shall Pass
Embracing Hope: "This Too Shall Pass" by Mark Lowry
Lyrics
Woke up this morning with the years I've spent
Reflecting on the time passed, waking up with a sense of the years gone by.
Hanging heavy on my mind.
Feeling burdened by the weight of past experiences.
At times I see
Occasionally recognizing aspects of oneself.
So much in me
Regret for parts of oneself that one wishes were left behind.
I wish I'd left behind.
Expressing a desire to move on from past mistakes or regrets.
But the one thing I've learned
Learning a valuable lesson over the years.
As the years have turned,
Reflecting on the passage of time and its impact on personal growth.
And they sure have traveled fast.
Realizing how quickly time has passed.
I don't have to stay where I am today because
Acknowledging the ability to change one's current situation.
This too shall past.
Emphasizing the transient nature of difficult moments, stating that they will pass.
CHORUS
Repeating the theme of the transient nature of challenges.
This too shall pass.
Reaffirming that challenging times will eventually pass.
This too shall pass.
Repeated assurance that difficult situations are temporary.
And the tears that fall like raindrops now
Describing the current emotional state with tears that will eventually cease.
Will finally dry at last.
Believing that emotional pain will eventually come to an end.
This too shall past.
Reiterating the idea that challenging times are transient.
Sometimes I'm laughing with a crowd of friends,
Experiencing loneliness despite being in the company of friends.
And still I feel alone.
Highlighting an internal emotional struggle even in social situations.
There's a place inside
Referring to a hidden place within oneself where emotional pain is kept.
Full of tears I hide
Expressing the private nature of certain tears.
That I've only cried alone.
Indicating tears shed in solitude.
But I know that He's near,
Believing in the presence of a higher power during difficult times.
And I know He hears,
Acknowledging the belief that a higher power is attentive to one's struggles.
And I know these tears won't last.
Expressing confidence that tears won't last due to divine intervention.
This pain today
Acknowledging current emotional pain.
Will be swept away because
Believing that the current pain will be replaced by relief.
This too shall pass.
Reiterating the idea that difficult moments will pass.
CHORUS X 2
Repeating the chorus to emphasize the central message of hope and resilience.
