Earth has no sorrow, heaven can't heal

Do you ever have a song that pops into your head and stays there for days? A few days ago a song lyric that I hadn't listened to in months popped into my head and hasn't left yet. One might say that there's not much else going on in my head which is why the song keeps bouncing around...regardless I wanted to share it with you.

"Earth Has No Sorrow"
Written by Bill Mallonee for Irving Music, Inc., Allegiance Music, Russachugama Music and CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1990, 1992

it's time to get the lash it's time to get the rope
sharpen the razor grab the microscope
it won't be pretty when they cut the tether
sometimes you lose your address to find your shelter
why is joy something i must steal
starving skeletons looking for a meal
out in the graveyard the church bells peal
earth has no sorrow heaven can't heal
i bought a crap detector it emptied all my savings
it's got a hair trigger feel for the slightest provocation
not there to spill blood or judge out of line
it's just a modern convenience to save you some time
johnny says to sarah as he takes her by the hand
"i hear angels 'cross that river in beulahland"the waters are cold and they're deep my friend
i'm going down down down and coming up again
i'm checking my closets since i don't know when
surely life is more than learning how to live with your skeletons
wind swing low whisper in my ears
wind swing low dry these tears

The chorus, "Earth has no sorrow, heaven can't heal" has circled my brain lately. I guess because not a day goes by that somebody doesn't share a struggle, a difficult situation, or just heartache that I think you know this situation stinks, but God is still present, still at work, bringing hope to this life and situation.
