This Too Shall Pass
by Gerald Crabb

Album: Roads That I've Traveled

She read from her favorite book
Though I was small, what she said took
I never will forget her words, soft and kind
The pages were so worn and frayed
And there were notes on every page
Those memories I will cherish in my mind

(chorus)
This too shall pass, she would read
Through tear-filled eyes she'd look at me
Child, don't forget this simple thing I'm telling you
The day will come when you will need
These words of hope to bring you peace
This too shall pass and you will know that God has brought you through

It wasn't long 'til I would need
The help my mother gave to me
I found the things that God has promised, He will fulfill
Though weeping may last through the night
There will come a new daylight
The hope that I was given then, lingers still

(repeat chorus)
