Real love is to take up another's pain
And go with them to the Throne
To lay their woes upon the foot
Of the cross so they're not alone


Where two or more are gathered
He will be there in their midst
So beneath the cross of Jesus
Is where we plan to sit


Jesus bore the cross for us
Now we bear their cross for Him
In His name we pray for those
Who's pain we've shared within


Compassion is a gift from God
True love is what we do
When we take up another's plight
When we help them pray it through


When we feel their pain so keenly
We can pray the way God wants
He hears our fervent prayers
Our prayers born of our love
