Just let me cry...


Just Let Me Cry by Hilary Weeks.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

We’re not just tossed by the wind,

or left in the hands of fate.

But sometimes life sends a storm that’s unexpected.

And we’re forced to face our deepest pain.

When I feel the heartache begin to pull me under...

I dig my heels in deep,

and I fight to keep my ground.

Still, at times the hurt inside grows stronger.

And there’s nothing I can do but let out...

Just let me cry.

I know it’s hard to see.

But the pain I feel isn’t going away today.

Just let me cry.

Till every tear has fallen.

Don’t ask when...

and don’t ask why.

Just let me cry.

When I agreed that God could put this heart inside me.

I understood that there would be a chance that it would break.


But I know He knows exactly how I’m feeling...

And I know in time He’ll take the pain away.


But for now...

Just let me cry.


I know it’s hard to see.

But the pain I feel isn’t going away today.


Just let me cry.

Till every tear has fallen.

Don’t ask when...

and don’t ask why.

Just let me cry.

I have felt joy,

the kind that makes my heart want to sing.

And so my tears are not a surrender,

I’ll feel that way again.

But for now...

For this moment...

Just let me cry.

I know it’s hard to see.

But the pain I feel.

Isn’t going away today.

Just let me cry.

Till every tear has fallen.

Don’t ask when...

and don’t ask why.

Just let me cry.

You are so much stronger then I am. So much happier, if you were not you would not be able to bear this burden. I am amazed at you, you have become a hero to me. I wish I could say I would walk your shoes the way you have but I can not. I love you so much! I hope you know how much I have always loved you. I cried so hard the summer you got sick and I couldn't come play, I cried for hours. Then we grew up and I didn't have time to cry over missed play dates. Now I'm crying harder then ever that I didn't make more time to come see you and your boys. I'm so sorry if our friendship faded after one missed summer. I love Linds. I pray for you ever second of every day that you can make it though this. If you need anything at all please let me know.

It is ok to cry. I wish I could come give you a hug. I love this song. It was written for a family who lost a child. I heard Hilary Weeks tell the story of the family and why she wrote the song. I am glad it is able to give comfort to you at this time of your loss.
