I was afraid to feel the pain
Thinking if I started crying I might drown
I believe that You can heal me
But, Lord, I never could've guessed that this is how
And it might feel worse
Before it feels better
Good grief
Washing my soul as the tears fall down
Good grief
I can finally let go when I let it all out
Relief when I leave it all here on holy ground
Good grief there's good grief
Good grief
And the blessing in the morning
Is I've grown to know
The comfort of the Lord
And the sneaky silver lining
I know You better now than I ever did before
Oh there's healing waiting
On the other side of
Good grief
Washing my soul as the tears fall down
Good grief
I can finally let go when I let it all out
Relief when I leave it all here on holy ground
Good grief there's good grief
Well You're my comfort
Always with me in the pain
You're my healer
God I'm calling out Your name
You're my help in time of need
In my weakness You're my strength
In my grieving Jesus be my everything
Good grief
Washing my soul as the tears fall down
Good grief
I can finally let go when I let it all out
Relief when I leave it all here on holy ground
Good grief there's good grief
Good grief
Good grief
Good grief
