Jesus Can

Today I have to do one of the saddest things a singer can do. I have to sing in a funeral. And this one is going to be especially hard because its the funeral of a family member. My Great Aunt Anne passed away on Wednesday.
Its sad to see her go, but I know she's in a better place. She's in place where cancer can't eat away at her body anymore. She's in a place where she'll never suffer again. So, though I'm sad that I'll never get to look back over the church while I'm singing and watch her sing along word for word, I'm happy for her.
One of her requests was that her funeral be a witness. So one of the songs we are singing is called "Jesus Can." It basically talks about how as a human I can't erase your pain. I can't dry your tears and give you comfort and peace, but Jesus can!
I'm sure that Annie knew that her family would be in pain on this day. She also knew that the only one who could give them peace would be Jesus. The same Jesus that she served in her life.
I say the same thing to you today. If you are going through something you don't understand or if your pain is more than you can bear, cry out to Jesus. He can help you even in the hardest times of your life!
