When I heard this song the first time, I cried. It's my favorite song right now. It's full of hope, strength and faith. I'm currently playing it on repeat, 'cause I feel this song just speak to my heart. It is not whether you have sorrows or pain. I know everyone has sorrows, has pain. We are humans after all. But "what do we do with our sorrows and pain.?" - that's the question
I have been one person who easily gave up when I cannot stand the pressure. Or at least that was me before I met Jesus. After I met Christ, I have learnt to lay down all problems, fears and wounds, and He'll solve them for me.
I have learnt not to worry, and this song just spoke of all of that. This song reminds me of who is in control in life, who is the loving One in life, the Refuge, the Shelter, the Rock of Salvation. Most of all this song reminds me who we are - nothing without God, but so much more with God. I'm now laying every burden down at the foot of the cross. Trading my sorrows for Christ's blood. O so great the promise of the Lord! Praise to Your Name!
Come Lift Up Your Sorrows
If you are wounded, if you are alone,
If you are angry, if your heart is cold as stone,
If you have fallen and if you are weak,
Come find the worth of God
That only the suffering seek.
(Chorus)
Come lift up your sorrows
And offer your pain;
Come make a sacrifice
Of all your shame;
There in your wilderness
He's waiting for you
To worship Him with your wounds,
For He's wounded too.
He has not stuttered, and He has not lied
When He said, "Come unto me, you're not disqualified"
When your heavy laden, you may want to depart,
But those who know sorrow are closest to His heart.
In this most Holy Place
He's made a sacred space
For those who will enter in
And trust to cry out to Him;
You'll find no curtain there,
No reason left for fear;
There's perfect freedom here
To weep every unwept tear.

- Just Freedom, O Joy! -
If you are wounded, if you are alone,
If you are angry, if your heart is cold as stone,
If you have fallen and if you are weak,
Come find the worth of God
That only the suffering seek.
(Chorus)
Come lift up your sorrows
And offer your pain;
Come make a sacrifice
Of all your shame;
There in your wilderness
He's waiting for you
To worship Him with your wounds,
For He's wounded too.
He has not stuttered, and He has not lied
When He said, "Come unto me, you're not disqualified"
When your heavy laden, you may want to depart,
But those who know sorrow are closest to His heart.
In this most Holy Place
He's made a sacred space
For those who will enter in
And trust to cry out to Him;
You'll find no curtain there,
No reason left for fear;
There's perfect freedom here
To weep every unwept tear.

- Just Freedom, O Joy! -
