The Empty Jar - Malcolm Holcombe

lips must surely tremble

when thoughts of loss remembered

the sick and wounded brave

who leave a heart to ponder

an empty jar but full

of eyes that see you here

pourin' perfect comfort

for thirsty silent tears

now there’s many lay before us

Lord and many stay behind

to pass the test of trustin'

the twinkle of an eye

moments carry burdens

each one has a home

to share among the stronger

hearts so not alone

now if you read this letter

one afternoon within

i love you far better

than deeds of one man
